ABSTRACT:
An access performance adjusting method is adapted to a storage apparatus having a storage to prestore a skew quantity that is used to shift a data write starting position of each track of a recording medium depending on a head moving time required to move a head from one track to another track during a sequential access in which a plurality of tracks of the recording medium are accessed sequentially. The method includes measuring an apparatus performance with respect to a combination of the head and the recording medium, calculating a skew adjusting quantity with respect to the combination based on a reference apparatus performance and the measured apparatus performance, and adjusting the skew quantity read from the storage by the skew adjusting quantity and storing the adjusted skew quantity in the storage as an updated value of the skew quantity.
