    摘要: A contaminant reduction system is shown for a disk drive assembly having a closed interior and slider disk components located therein which would be adversely affected by condensed volatiles generated within the assembly. A Peltier element is located within the closed interior of the disk drive assembly so as to condense volatiles present within the interior at a desired condensation point within the closed interior. A getter material, such as a microporous sintered alumina, is located within the closed interior of the disk drive assembly at the condensation point for permanently trapping and maintaining condensed volatiles which are condensed by the Peltier element.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for predicting write failure resulting from flying height modulation and initiating re-writing of data upon occurrence of the predicted write failure is disclosed. According to the present invention, if the slider or transducer flying height modulates during the write process, such modulation is detected, and a rewrite of the same data is forced. A write reassign may be initiated when a thermal signal exceeding the predetermined threshold is detected during the rewrite and/or a read/verify may be initiated after the rewrite.

    摘要: Data recovery information characterizes data recovery procedure (DRP) steps to be performed within a hard disk drive (HDD) in response to a miss. Particular data recovery information corresponds to a radial position of the actuator and, therefore, the position of the magnetic recording read/write head relative to the associated storage media at the location at which the miss occurred. The data recovery information is based on the physical shape of a write pole and on how the physical shape of the pole inherently affects operational data error associated with the head. Because of the foregoing characteristics of such data recovery information, a more efficient and performant data recovery procedure is performed based thereon.

    摘要: A method is described for storing data on a target track of a recordable medium in a storage device via a magnetic write head therein. The storage device has an operating parameter having an operational range with extreme at which the writing of data to said device is prohibited. A first threshold within said range is defined and proximate said first extreme and delimits a first operational subrange. The method including the steps of: monitoring said operating parameter; and determining whether the monitored parameter lies within said first subrange and if so, performing a first predetermined operation to compensate for deleterious effects on data storage caused thereby.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for detecting harmful motion of a disk drive system to avoid a head crash. The motor spin current in the hard disk drive is used as a sensor to detect acceleration of the disk drive corresponding to a tipping or falling condition. In normal operation, the disk stack angular velocity (measured in revolutions per minute or RPM) is constantly monitored so that the disk drive control system can generate timing signals allowing the controller to accurately locate data addresses on the rotating disks. Disk stack RPM is accurately controlled at a constant value by a suitable feedback control loop which measures RPM and adjusts motor drive current to maintain the desired RPM. The rapidly rotating disk stack acts as a gyro system whose angular momentum resists any change in direction. In the event of a change in orientation of the disk drive such as that initiated by tipping or falling, gyroscopic forces are generated which act to increase friction of the bearings supporting the rotating disk stack resulting in a decrease in disk stack angular velocity. The change of disk stack RPM is detected by the normal feedback control loop electronics and an error signal can be generated to cause actuator park or unload action before impact of the falling disk drive occurs.

    摘要: A data storage system has a disk having a first, second and third zone. The first zone has rough texturing to prevent stiction between a slider at rest and the disk. The second zone has intermediate texturing to prevent stiction when a moving slider is in contact with the disk. The third zone has a smooth texture and is used for data recording. A control unit moves the slider between the zones as appropriate on power up and power down of the system. The system has an actuator latch having a bias device. The bias device allows the slider to be positioned between the first and second zones by selective energizing of the actuator while in the latched position.
