    摘要: In one embodiment, a system comprises a magnetic head, a protective coating on a media-facing side of the head, and an indentation in the protective coating having a dimension that, when the protective coating wears, is indicative of an amount of wear of the protective coating. A method, in another embodiment, comprises creating an indentation in a protective coating of a magnetic head, the indentation having a dimension that, when the protective coating wears, is indicative of an amount of wear of the protective coating. In another embodiment, a method comprises visually inspecting indentations in a protective coating of a magnetic head, wherein at least two of the indentations have differing dimensions that, when the protective coating wears, are indicative of the amount of wear of the protective coating. The method also includes estimating an amount of wear of the protective coating based on the visual inspection.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a method includes simultaneously writing tracks of data on a magnetic medium in a first direction using less than all available writers in an array of magnetic writers. The method also includes determining that an error has occurred when writing one of the tracks and terminating writing with the writer associated with the track on which the error occurred. In addition, the method includes simultaneously writing tracks of data on the magnetic medium in the first direction using a previously unused writer in the array of magnetic writers.
