    摘要: A drive-implemented method according to one embodiment includes guiding a magnetic medium over a magnetic head at an angle at which the magnetic medium flies over a leading outer portion of the head, engages a leading edge of a tape bearing surface of a central portion of the head, and engages an inner edge of a tape bearing surface of a trailing outer portion of the head. The inner edge of the tape bearing surface of the trailing outer portions skives air from the magnetic medium when the magnetic medium travels in a direction from the central portion towards the trailing outer portion.

    摘要: A first data group in an access sequence is selected. Those data groups located in specified regions of the tape medium are separated from other data groups located in alternative specified regions of the tape medium. The distance from the current position of the tape medium is set to be a logical distance value, determined by a calculation function, that is substituted for the physical distance value for the data groups that are located in the specified regions as compared with other data groups located in the alternative specified regions. A second data group in the access sequence is selected. The logical distance value is then determined by multiplying a coefficient based on a physical positioning of each of the data groups in the tape medium, and a percentage of those of the plurality of data groups that have already been selected as the first data group and the second data group.

    摘要: A hard disk drive enters a low power mode to reduce power consumption. To maintain communication with a host device, a communication interface remains energized along with a circuit portion storing configuration data for the communication interface. To energize the communication interface and the circuit portion, low power voltage regulators provide suitable reference voltages. One low power voltage regulator is dedicated to this purpose. Another voltage regulator is converted from an active, switching mode to a low power, linear mode to provide the necessary reference voltage. Also, unique handshaking signals are used to control entry and exit from the low power mode by the hard disk drive.

    摘要: A power control device comprising an always-on-domain (AOD) which includes control logic circuitry for controlling power from a power source, load switches, bias current generators. The power control device also includes, outside of the AOD, functional blocks. The control logic circuitry is configured to receive a signal to go into a lower power state, initiate a shut-down sequence of the load switches and the bias current generators of the AOD, to disable circuitry outside of the AOD, including the functional blocks of the power control device and loads controlled by the power control device, and operate in a low power state to detect a wake-up signal. The shut-down sequence may additionally include sequencing off voltage regulators outside of the AOD and a clock control inside the AOD.
