Track skew/head skew
The number of physical sectors (track skew factor and head skew factor) corresponding to the
skew time varies depending on the logical data block length because the track skew and the head
skew are managed for individual sectors. The IDD automatically determines appropriate values
for the track skew factor and the head skew factor according to the specified logical data block
length. The value can be read out by the MODE SENSE or MODE SENSE EXTENDED
command after the track has been formatted.
