摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention help to achieve a read error recovery, and suppress decreases in the capacity of the disk drive device and degradation in performance. In one embodiment, a hard disk drive (HDD) performs following control without use of repeatable run-out (RRO) compensation information on a magnetic disk in a normal reading process. When an error occurs in a normal reading process, the HDD moves a read element to a position different from a target position of the normal reading process. At the position where the read element has been moved, the read element reads out the RRO compensation information. In a recovery procedure for the reading process where the error has occurred, the HDD performs following control with compensation by the servo compensation information read out by the read element.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a magnetic disk drive capable of easily suppressing degradation of position error caused by disturbance resulting from vibration from the outside. According to one embodiment, the magnetic disk drive acquires, during a period of time of track following control, data necessary for determining a filtering characteristic required to newly be specified in a peak filter; in association with the start of subsequent seek control, determines the filtering characteristic required to be specified in the peak filter; and specifies the determined filtering characteristic in the peak filter.

In seek control for a head of a rotary recorder/reproducer, the seek time is reduced with noise reduced while utilizing a driving force of an actuator effectively. In one embodiment, when a microprocessor generates a control signal for a drive current given to an actuator for head seek, a signal generator generates a prespecified acceleration allowing for the allowable maximum acceleration when the actuator is accelerated, a prespecified deceleration signal allowing for the allowable maximum deceleration when the actuator is decelerated, and a zero level signal when the actuator is settled. Switching from deceleration to settling is performed at a point of time computed by the microprocessor as a time point when settling is to be started so that the head may reach a target position within the shortest period of time.

Embodiments of the invention provide a data storage device and its control method that are capable of minimizing the possibility of head deterioration while maintaining the minimum required sustained data rate. In one embodiment, each track is divided into three areas (A, B, and C). When a ⅓ track is accessed, the head is changed to access a ⅓ track on the next recording surface. In this instance, LBAs are assigned to disks so that heads Hd0 through Hd4, which access both surfaces of disks 0 and 1, are selected for accessing purposes in the Hd0, Hd1, Hd2, Hd3, Hd0, and Hd1 order while an area selection is made in the area A, area B, and area C order.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a magnetic disk drive with reduced noise during seek operation without causing any delay in control response. According to one embodiment of the present invention, a control circuit of a magnetic disk drive controls the drive power supplied to a voice coil motor during a seek operation adapted to move a magnetic head over a target track formed on a magnetic disk so as to bring the travel speed of the magnetic head close to a predetermined target speed. The control circuit determines a provisional current according to the difference between the predetermined target speed and an actual travel speed in an acceleration zone adapted to accelerate the magnetic head to the predetermined target speed. If the provisional current exceeds a limit specified in relation to an elapsed time from the start of acceleration, the control circuit sets the limit as the current of the drive power supplied to the voice coil motor to control the motor.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a magnetic recording apparatus capable of generating RRO compensation information that can expand the disturbance frequency range in which to compensate for RRO. Embodiments of the present invention describe a magnetic recording apparatus that uses a plurality of repetitive control systems to detect repeatable runout during the rotation of a magnetic recording medium for a frequency characteristic of each of the repetitive control systems. The magnetic recording apparatus further generates compensation information to compensate for each of the detected repeatable runout. The magnetic recording apparatus still further writes the compensation information generated for each of the repetitive control systems to a servo signal, thus suppressing and controlling the repeatable runout.

One aspect is directed to a method of providing a revised feedforward signal using an adaptive filter in a feedforward control system for controlling an actuator to move a head to seek a track and settle on the track of a disk in a disk drive apparatus. The method comprises performing a seek operation of the head using an initial feedforward signal; obtaining an error signal at settling after performing the seek operation; determining filter characteristics of the adaptive filter to minimize the error signal; and implementing the adaptive filter having the determined filter characteristics in the feedforward control system to produce a revised feedforward signal for controlling the actuator for moving the head in the disk drive apparatus.
