Method of writing data to a disc, disc drive
The invention relates to a method of writing data to a disc (OD). The method comprised: a) performing a plurality of writing actions in which a plurality of data portions are written to the disc, b) performing a plurality of verification actions in which written data portions are at least partly verified and at least part of the data portions are replaced if needed. The method further comprises a2) performing a decision action for each writing action in which a decision whether or not to perform the verification action for a specific written data portion is taken.
1. Method of writing data to a disc, the method comprising:
a) performing a plurality of writing actions in which a plurality of data portions are written to the disc,
b) performing a plurality of verification actions in which written data portions are at least partly verified and at least part of the written data portions are replaced if needed, wherein the verification action for the written data portion is not performed if the verification action was already performed for a previously written data portion for a same zone as the written data portion within a predetermined time interval from performing the write action for the written data portion,
wherein the method further comprises
a2) performing a decision action for each writing action in which a decision whether or not to perform the verification action for a specific written data portion is taken.
2. Disc drive arranged to receive a disc, the disc drive comprising an optical pick-up unit, arranged to generate a beam to be scanned over the surface of the disc to read data from or write data to the disc, the disc drive arranged to
a) perform a plurality of writing actions in which a plurality of data portions are written to the disc,
b) perform a plurality of verification actions in which written data portions are at least partly verified and at least part of the data portions are replaced if needed, wherein the verification action for the written data portion is not performed if the verification action was already performed for a previously written data portion for a same zone as the written data portion within a predetermined time interval from performing the write action for the written data portion,
wherein the disc drive further is arranged to
a2) perform a decision action for each writing action in which a decision whether or not to perform the verification action for a specific written data portion is taken.
