Patent ID: 7523255

Claim:
A method operable to store simultaneous content streams to magnetic disk media, comprising: receiving a first content stream streamed to a host device coupled to the magnetic disk media via a first channel; receiving a second content stream streamed simultaneous to the first content stream to the host device via a second channel; reserving a first read/write (RW) head of a multiple RW head memory system for the first channel; reserving a second RW head of the multiple RW head memory system for the second channel; determining a first disk location operable to store the first content stream, the first disk location comprising a plurality of data blocks wherein the plurality of data blocks of the first disk location is substantially contiguous; determining a second disk location operable to store the second content stream, the second disk location comprising a plurality of data blocks wherein the plurality of data blocks of the second disk location is substantially contiguous, wherein the first disk location and second disk location are based on multiple head access to the first disk location and second disk location; and writing the first content stream to the first disk location and the second content stream to the second disk location.
