Sector Format; Figure 3.5 Track Skew/Cylinder Skew - Fujitsu MAN3367FC - Enterprise 36.7 GB Hard Drive Product/Maintenance Manual

The number of physical sectors (track skew factor and cylinder skew factor) corresponding to the
skew time varies depending on the logical data block length because the track skew and the cylinder
skew are managed for individual sectors. The IDD automatically determines appropriate values for
the track skew factor and the cylinder skew factor according to the specified logical data block
length. The value can be read out by the MODE SENSE or MODE SENSE EXTENDED command
after the track has been formatted.
