Technical Notes
Constant Linear Velocity (CLV)
The disc rotation speed is adjusted to keep the data transfer rate constant while writing/reading data.
Constant Angular Velocity (CAV)
The data transfer rate is adjusted to keep the disc rotation speed constant while writing/reading data. The Full CAV method employs CAV all through data writing/ reading.
Partial CAV
The CAV method is employed for inner tracks of a disc and the CLV method for outer tracks while writing/reading data.
