    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for determining fly-height adjustments. For example, various embodiments of the present invention provide storage devices that include a storage medium, a read/write head assembly disposed in relation to the storage medium (278), and a SAM based fly-height adjustment circuit (214). The storage medium (278) includes a plurality of servo data regions (110) that each include a servo address mark (154). The SAM based fly-height adjustment circuit (214) receives the servo address mark (154) from the plurality of servo data regions (110) via the read/write head assembly (276), and calculates a first harmonics ratio (445) based on the received data. The first harmonics ratio (445) is compared with a second harmonics ratio (450) to determine an error (365) in the distance (295) between the read/write head assembly (276) and the storage medium (278).

    摘要: In a hard-disc drive, a defect region on the hard disc is classified as corresponding to either thermal asperity (TA) or media defect (MD) by generating two statistical measures. A first measure (e.g., α1) is based on (i) the magnitudes of one or both of signal values (e.g., equalizer input or output signal values) and the corresponding expected values of those signal values and (ii) the signs of one or both of the signal values and the expected signal values. A second measure (e.g., α2) is based on the magnitudes of one or both of the signal values and the expected signal values, but not the signs of either the signal values or the expected signal values. The two measures are then compared to determine whether the defect region corresponds to TA or MD.

    摘要: In a hard-disc drive read channel, frequency-based measures are generated at two different data frequencies (e.g., 2T and DC) by applying a transform, such as a discrete Fourier transform (DFT), to signal values, such as ADC or equalizer output values, corresponding to, e.g., a 2T data pattern stored on the hard disc. The frequency-based measures are used to detect defect regions on the hard disc and/or to classify defect regions as being due to either thermal asperity (TA) or drop-out media defect (MD).
