Abstract
A memory controller for a disk controller comprises a first memory that receives first and second write operations in a first order and that stores the first and second write operations and corresponding write operation data. A second memory stores a corresponding address for each of the write operations, wherein the corresponding addresses identify a location of the write operation data stored in the first memory. Controller logic determines whether the first write operation and the second write operation write data to a same track of a disk and transfers the write operation data from the first memory to a third memory in a second order when the first write operation and the second write operation write data to the same track, wherein the second order is different from the first order.
