Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize a fact that data is secured surely by operating an auxiliary power source provided on the inside of a driving device at the time of abnormality of a power source, and writing recording data held temporarily in media. CONSTITUTION:When abnormality of a power source is generated, a main power source 101b of a disk driving device is switched to an auxiliary power source 101a by a power source abnormality monitoring circuit 102, and a disk driving device control CPU 105 is allowed to check a file updating existing in a data managing circuit 104. In the case one or more the file updating flags are set, in accordance with its recording address information, recording data held in a buffer memory 103 is written in a media medium 107. The CPU 105 executes this operation to all the file updating flags existing in the inside of the data managing circuit 104, and after the above operation is completed, the auxiliary power source 101 is disconnected.

[Conventional technology] In order to improve the average data transfer speed between the host computer and the disk drive, conventional disk drive devices are equipped with buffer memory of several tens to hundreds of kilobytes in the disk drive device itself, and a portion of the buffer memory is As stated in claim b), there is a cache memory system that temporarily stores frequently used data based on a certain algorithm, and data that is likely to be read next is stored in advance from the media. It is used as a data management function such as look-ahead memory for reading and holding.

[Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, in such a writing speed improvement means, the recording data sent from the host computer to the disk drive device is not immediately written to the medium, but is held in the buffer memory through the data management circuit. For,
There may be a time delay before the recorded data is actually written to the media. If an abnormality occurs in the main power supply such as a power outage during that time, the data held in the buffer memory will be lost, and the write operation will be interrupted [Example] [Means for Solving the Problem] Disk drive of the present invention are: a) a buffer memory that temporarily holds data read from a medium or data written to the medium; and b) the data O7 determined by a certain algorithm is a medium.
