    摘要: A hard disk drive with a disk that has a plurality of servo sections and a plurality of data sections. At least some of the data sections have a track density different than the track density of the servo sections. The disk drive has a controller that may convert a data track number to a servo track number to compensate for the different densities. The conversion may be required to conduct a seek routine to access a data track associated with the data track number.

    摘要: Thermal pole tip protrusion is caused by the materials in and around the head slider expanding during write operations till part of those materials protrude, leading to contact with the rotating disk surface, altering the flying height and often wearing down part of the disk surface. While it is well known that read-write heads expand during writing, the inventors are unaware of anyone else who recognized this situation's significance, particularly as the flying height decreases and the data rates increase, both of which are required for high areal density disk drives. The inventors realized that they could detect the problem at the spin stand level by testing head gimbal assemblies to reliably, and inexpensively, predict the tendency for thermal pole tip protrusion. This leads to selection of head gimbal assemblies, which do not have the thermal pole tip protrusion tendency. The selected head gimbal assemblies have better reliability, as do actuators and disk drives made with the selected head gimbal assemblies.

    摘要: The invention includes a testing method which may be applied to at least one writer in a disk drive during the self-test phase to generate write parameters, focused on the Over Shoot Control (OSC) of the write current parameter to improve the reliability of write operations by that writer. The Minimum OSC is used for write operations in normal temperatures. The Optimum OSC is used for a first lower temperature range, preferably between essentially 15 degrees Centigrade and essentially 5 degrees Centigrade. The Maximum OSC is preferred below essentially 5 degrees Centigrade. The Minimum OSC should preferably guarantee both an Adjacent Track Write (ATW) criteria, as well as guarantee a Write Induced Instability (WII) criteria. The invention includes the write parameter collection, as well as the disk drive containing the generated write parameter collection. The invention also includes the method of using that write parameter collection to control a writer while writing to tracks belonging to the radial zone collection and program systems implementing the invention's methods.
