    摘要: A magnetic disk drive having a reduction in repeatable runout (RRO) effects is disclosed. The disk drive has a head disk assembly (HDA) and a sampled servo controller. The HDA includes a rotating magnetic disk, an actuator, and a transducer head. The magnetic disk has a plurality of embedded servo sectors for storing servo information including repeatable runout (RRO) cancellation values and RRO cancellation value error correction code (ECC) data at a servo data rate. The RRO cancellation value ECC data is only for detecting and correcting errors in the RRO cancellation values. In between the embedded servo sectors are data sectors for storing user data at a user data rate that is different from the servo data rate. The actuator positions the transducer head in response to a control effort signal generated by the sampled servo controller based on the servo information.

    摘要: A disk drive includes a sampled servo controller for periodically adjusting a control effort signal during a track-following operation based on embedded distributed position information and repeatable runout (RRO) cancellation values for reducing effects of RRO in the distributed position information during track following. A magnetic disk in the disk drive stores RRO information relating to predetermined RRO cancellation values for a data storage track. The RRO information for the data storage track includes at least one first data structure having a first predetermined number of data bits for representing an initial RRO cancellation value, and includes at least one second data structure having a second predetermined number of data bits associated with a respective subsequent RRO cancellation value. The first predetermined number of data bits is greater than the second predetermined number of data bits.

    摘要: The present invention may be embodied in a disk drive comprising a rotating magnetic media having tracks identified by binary codewords, and in a related method. Each track codeword for a particular track within a contiguous band of tracks differs from a track codeword for an adjacent track within the contiguous band of tracks by a defined number of bits, and differs from a track codeword for a nonadjacent track within the contiguous band of tracks by at least the defined number of bits. The defined number N of bits is greater than four such that at least two bit errors may be corrected when reading a track codeword.

    摘要: A system and method for processing track identification data in a disk drive having concentric tracks each having a track identification field (TIF) stored in embedded servo sectors, the TIF includes a band segment identifying a group of tracks, and an index segment identifying a single track of the group of tracks. The system and method include reading a servo sector to obtain the TIF, parsing the TIF to obtain the band segment, comparing the obtained band segment to an expected band segment to obtain a band segment differential (BSD), initiating an action if the BSD exceeds a pre-determined threshold and varies from the expected band segment by a predetermined number of bits, initiating another action if the BSD exceeds the predetermined threshold and does not vary from the expected band segment by the predetermined number of bits. The process is then applied to the index segments of the band segment.
