Zusammenfassung:A control module for a rotating storage medium. The control module includes: a memory, a buffer control module, and a disk formatter module. The memory is configured to store a data wedge format table including a plurality of entries. The buffer control module is configured to maintain a queue, wherein each of a plurality of entries of the queue is based on a corresponding one of the plurality of entries of the data wedge format table, and wherein each of the plurality of entries of the queue includes a servo number. The disk formatter module is configured to compare the servo numbers of the plurality of entries of the queue to present servo information, wherein the present servo information is based on a present position of a read/write device in relation to the rotating storage medium.
