Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and systems for detecting defective sectors on a recording medium. A defective sector detector apparatus comprises an error-corrected ECC symbol number calculator and a defective sector determination unit. The error-corrected ECC symbol number calculator is configured to count a total number of error correcting code (“ECC”) symbols that are error-corrected in data read from data sectors on a track of a recording medium of the storage device. The defective sector determination unit is configured to receive the total number of ECC symbols that are error-corrected for a data sector from the error-corrected ECC symbol number calculator and determine whether the total number of ECC symbols that are error-corrected exceeds a threshold value. If it is determined that the total number of ECC symbols that are error-corrected exceeds the threshold value, the defective sector determination unit outputs information indicating the data sector to be a defective sector.

Claim (Index 20):
The storage device of  claim 18 , wherein the memory contains further code objects configured to adjust a logical track length of the track in such a manner that logical block addresses are not assigned to the plurality of consecutive data sectors determined to be defective.
