Abstract
Various implementations of hard disk track management method, device, and system disclosed herein enable improvements of file system write bandwidth. In various implementations, a method is performed at a disk storage including a file controller controlling a disk drive with a disk platter that is divided into multiple regions including a fast region. In various implementations, the method includes receiving a write request associated with data to be written to the disk drive and in response, determining a disk utilization of the disk drive. In various implementations, the method further includes placing the disk drive in a surge mode to write the data to the fast region upon determining that the disk utilization is above a first threshold, and placing the disk drive in a non-surge mode to write the data to other regions of the multiple regions upon determining that the disk utilization is below a second threshold.
