Abstract

A method includes moving data in a defect range from a defective area of a data storage medium to a reserve area of the data storage medium, and identifying the defect range by an address of a start of the defect range and a defect length. A logical address table is updated with the address of the start of the defect range, the defect length and an offset to the reserve area.
