US Patent:

20190258410, Aug 22, 2019

Filed:

Sep 20, 2018

Appl. No.:

16/136603

Inventors:

Rod Brittner - Laguna Hills CA, US
Ronald G. Benson - Kirkland WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/06
G06F 11/10

Abstract:

A method of storing data includes receiving general purpose (GP) data and special Error Tolerant or Streaming (ETS) data, storing the GP data using a data storage method, and storing the ETS data using a different data storage method which affects the access rate, resilience to errors, data integrity, storage density, or storage capacity. The storage medium, which can include a disk drive, flash memory, or holographic memory, is utilized differently depending on the required Quality of Service in aspects including block size, storage of error correction codes, utilization of error correction codes, storage area density, physical format pattern, storage verification, or reaction to failed storage verification. For disk drives these differences include spacing between tracks; overlap between tracks; spiral track formatting; concentric track formatting, and size of blocks, and for flash memories these differences include levels per cell and number of cells.
