ABSTRACT:
A method of mapping logical track numbers to a collection of physical tracks on at least two disk surfaces within a disk drive. The method further includes accessing logical tracks at assigned physical tracks. The invention includes making disk drives using the mapping of logical tracks to physical tracks and those disk drives as a product of that manufacturing process. The invention also includes program systems implementing the mapping of logical tracks to physical tracks within the disk drive and disk drives implementing the method of assigning logical tracks to physical tracks and/or accessing logical tracks based upon the physical track assignment.
