摘要:
Virtual tracks are set so that the rotation center of a magnetic recording medium or the vicinity of the rotation center coincides with the track center of the data information, and positioning servo control is performed. Thus, since it is not necessary to faithfully follow the track center line specified by the servo information that is previously recorded on the magnetic recording medium or magnetooptical recording medium, a vibration is not easily caused in synchronism with the rotation. Therefore, when the rotation center and the pattern center are deviated from each other, since a vibration is not caused in synchronism with the rotation, the magnetic head of the magnetic recorder or the magnetooptical head of the magnetooptical recorder is able to follow tracks with higher precision. Accordingly, the recording density can be increased.

A magnetic digital storage method and system which can improve a recording density and can reduce a cross-talk upon reproducing. An inputted high-speed digital signal is converted to a plurality of low-speed digital signal sequences by a recording circuit and each of the low-speed signal sequence is recorded onto a plurality of adjacent recorded tracks of a recording medium by integrated parallel recording heads. One servo signal is commonly recorded to the plurality of recorded tracks. Further, when recording the digital signal to the adjacent recorded tracks of the recording medium, a delay of a signal that is applied to each recording head is adjusted such that the phases of magnetic transition points given by the recording signal in the adjacent recorded tracks are not identical in the circumferential direction.

A magnetic recording disk drive can prevent the deterioration of the head off-track characteristics and the reduction of the drive performance even when an erase band asymmetry resulting from a skew angle exists. A write inhibit slice value for an inner peripheral side offset is made smaller than a write inhibit slice value for an outer peripheral side offset at a position where an erase band on the inner peripheral side is greater than an erase band on the outer peripheral side, so that the adjacent track on the outer peripheral side cannot easily erase a data track. On the contrary, the inner periphery and the outer periphery are paraphrased at a position where the erase band on the outer peripheral side is greater than the erase band on the inner peripheral side.

A hard disk drive and magnetic medium including a servo area, a data area divided into a plurality of sector blocks and at least one micro-servo area disposed between two sector blocks. There may be a micro-servo area immediately preceding each of the plurality of sector blocks. The micro-servo areas include an address mark and a track parity check code that allow the detection of an external shock that causes the recording (write) head to skip to an adjacent track in the hard disk medium. The micro-servo area is smaller than the servo areas, and various numbers of different track parity check codes can be used for different resolution of shock detection. An acceleration sensor may also be provided to detect larger external shocks. By detecting various external shocks with improved accuracy, and aborting the recording operation of data if an external shock is detected, the corruption of data in adjacent tracks is substantially reduced to improve disk drive performance.

In an embodiment of the present invention, with Self Servo Write (SSW), a head slider is used to perform AC erase to a recording surface of a magnetic disk. The AC erase is performed asynchronously to every track. A frequency for use with AC erase, i.e., a frequency of an AC erase pattern is three times or higher than a burst frequency of a product servo pattern or a burst frequency of a radial pattern. By satisfying such requirements, for the magnetic disk of vertical magnetic recording, it becomes possible to substantially stop adversely affecting pattern reading in an AC erase area.

Embodiments of the invention prevent demagnetization or degaussing of recorded magnetizations, even if a stray field is applied. In one embodiment, an output of a read head including a magneto-resistive effect element is inputted to a stray field detector through a DC amplifier and a DC filter. The stray field detector monitors dc components of the output from the read head, and escapes a head from above a magnetic recording medium.
