CLV ==>
constant linear velocity
<storage> (CLV) A disk driving scheme in which the linear velocity of the
disk is kept constant. This requires that the angular velocity of the disk be
larger when the reading or writing tracks closer to the axis. The advantage of
this technique is that the read/write speed is constant. However, as mechanical
stability puts an upper limit on the angular velocity (and not the linear
velocity) using the same linear velocity throughout, i.e., using less then the
maximal angular velocity at outer tracks means that the full potential of the
drive is not used.
