摘要:
A data zone optimization method and architecture for optimizing the location of the data zone on a data storage disk is disclosed. The data zone is preferably biased toward the outer diameter of the disk, and is referenced to a data zone starting location established proximate a load/unload ramp apparatus. An optimum starting location for the data zone of an initially unformatted data storage disk is preferably determined by contacting the load/unload ramp with the transducer assembly, disengaging the transducer assembly from the ramp, and writing servo information indicative of the data zone starting location at a disk location proximate the ramp and transducer assembly contact point. Servo information indicative of the data zone is written at inner diameter disk location with respect to the optimum data zone starting location. The optimized data zone architecture may have a predetermined or variable data storage capacity.
摘要:
A disk drive includes a fastening structure to secure a shaft between parallel walls which will secure and locate the shaft without inducing a distortion of the walls. One end of the shaft is secured to the adjacent wall and the other end of the shaft is secured through a wall opening using an annular slug 43 and a deformable washer 45 which is compressed by a bolt 41 attached axially to the shaft end to cause the deformed washer to engage the surfaces defining the wall opening 32. The uniform axisymmetric expansion of the washer does not affect the position of the shaft and the radial force secures the shaft end without influencing the structure of the casting.
