AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, hard drives typically only support a single magnetic recording mode, which forces users to purchase multiple types of equipment when facing diverse needs, increasing deployment costs and management complexity. Furthermore, technical solutions that attempt to achieve multi-mode switching are difficult to popularize due to the complexity of hardware modifications.

Method used

The target memory and magnetic recording mode are selected through the interactive interface on the display. The current magnetic recording mode is modified by the processor, enabling flexible switching between PMR and SMR. This avoids hardware modifications and allows switching of magnetic recording modes to be done through software configuration.

Benefits of technology

It enables low-cost and flexible switching of target magnetic recording modes, reduces manufacturing costs and design difficulty, improves the flexibility and compatibility of hard drive use, and simplifies management complexity.

Abstract

The application discloses a variable magnetic recording system, method, server and storage medium, and relates to the technical field of server data storage. The system comprises a memory, a read-write device of the memory, a display and a processor. An operation option of the memory is displayed through an interactive interface of the display. A user determines a target memory and a target magnetic recording mode based on the operation option. The target magnetic recording mode comprises a perpendicular magnetic recording mode or a shingled magnetic recording mode. The processor is connected with the read-write device and the display. The current magnetic recording mode of the target memory is modified based on the target magnetic recording mode. The target magnetic recording mode can be switched through software configuration without complex hardware modification. The technical problem that a complex hardware modification or an additional control circuit is generally required to switch the target magnetic recording mode in the prior art is solved, and the cost and design difficulty are high. The technical effect that the target magnetic recording mode is flexibly switched at low cost is achieved.
