C141-C013 

(2)  Alternate block allocation 

Alternate data blocks are allocated in defective sector units for defective data 
blocks (= sectors) on the disk media by the HDD's internal defect management 
methods. 

a.  Spare sector area 

Spare sectors for allocation as alternate blocks are secured in one or both of 
the following areas.  When the INIT initializes the disk media, it can specify 
the spare sector area to be prepared on the disk drive and the size of that area. 

− 

Spare sectors within a cell 

Spare sectors are secured in the final track of each cell.  They are used as 
alternate blocks for defective sectors within the same cell. 

− 

Alternate cells 

This is an exclusive cells for allocation of alternate blocks.  Alternate 
cells are secured only in the specified quantity in order from the topmost 
cells.  Spare sectors in an alternate cell are used only in the case that the 
spare sectors within each cell are used up and alternate block allocation 
is not possible within the same cell. 

b.  Alternate block allocation methods 

Alternate block allocation processing is performed using one of the following 
methods. 

− 

Sector slip processing 

This is a method of skipping defective sectors and writing the logical 
data blocks corresponding to those sectors in order in physically 
consecutive sectors.  Sector slip processing is performed only within the 
same cell as the defective sectors and until all the spare sectors within 
that cell are used up. 

− 

Alternate sector processing 

This is a method of allocating logical data blocks corresponding to 
defective sectors to unused spare sectors in an alternate cell.
