ABSTRACT:
A disk drive controller establishes an active region on a disk that corresponds to a region of the disk wherein effects of mechanical shock to the disk drive during read and/or write operations are mitigated by a motion limiting element. The controller stores data in the active region based on frequency and/or recency of access of the data.
