Figure 3.5 Track skew/head skew
The number of physical sectors (track skew factor and head skew factor) corresponding to the skew
time varies depending on the logical data block length because the track skew and the head skew are
managed for individual sectors. The HDD automatically determine appropriate values for the track
skew factor and the head skew factor according to the specified logical data block length.
3.1.4 Sector
format
Each sector on the track consists of an ID field, a data field, and a gap field which separates them.
Figure 3.6 gives sector format examples.
