APPARATUS AND METHOD TO CONVERT DATA PAYLOAD FROM FIRST SECTOR FORMAT TO SECOND SECTOR FORMAT

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for converting data payload from a first sector format to a second sector format. PSOLUTION: This method forms a plurality of DMA data payloads each comprising a plurality of first sectors, and sends, to a sector format conversion device, one or more of those DMA data payloads. The method then overlays the (i)th DMA data payload onto part or all of a plurality of second sectors to form the (i)th converted DMA data payload, enqueues that (i)th converted DMA data payload in a data queue, transmits that (i)th converted DMA data payload to a data storage device, and writes the (i)th converted DMA data payload to an information storage medium.
