Abstract
A multi-actuator storage device includes a first actuator supporting a first read element coupled to a shared read channel, a second actuator supporting a second read element coupled to the shared read channel, and a job scheduler that employs a lowest-access time selection methodology when selecting each next job to schedule on the first actuator. When the lowest-access-time methodology results in the selection of a read job for execution by the first actuator, the job scheduler identifies a pending job for execution by the second actuator that can be executed concurrent to the first read job without concurrently accessing the read channel and schedules the pending job on the second actuator concurrent to the first read job.
