Patent Package Shingled Magnetic Recording available for sale or licensing
This patent package reduces the immanent write amplification (read-modify-write) of a Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) storage system significantly and handles defective sectors in an efficient and space-saving way. For example, the write amplification is reduced by more than half and/or there is no write amplification most of the time, even in the case of random write operations. - Can serve as a drop-in-replacement for conventional HDDs.
