    摘要: A disk drive includes a rotatable data storage disk, a transducer, an actuator, and a controller. The transducer is configured to read and write data on the disk. The actuator is configured to position the transducer relative to defined portions of the disk. The controller is configured to write a predetermined magnetic polarity pattern on a buffer portion of the disk to erase data thereon. The controller also determines whether the disk drive has reached a threshold operating temperature, and to selectively direct data from a host device, which is addressed for an associated original block address on the disk, to be written to the buffer portion of the disk when the disk drive has not reached the threshold operating temperature. The controller later copies the data from the buffer portion of the disk to the original block address on the disk and then erases the data from the buffer portion of the disk.

    摘要: A disk drive includes a drive housing, a storage disk and a slider. The slider includes a head that magnetically interacts with the storage disk. Further, the slider includes a slider mover that moves a portion of the slider to adjust a head-to-disk spacing during operation of the disk drive. In one embodiment, the slider mover is formed from a material having a thermal coefficient of resistivity that is less than approximately 0.001/° C., such as a copper-manganese alloy, a copper-tin alloy or a gold alloy. The slider mover can be formed from a material having a negative thermal coefficient of resistivity. Further, the slider mover can be formed from a material having a resistivity that is less than approximately 15 microohm-centimeters. Additionally, the slider mover can be formed from a material having a melting point that is greater than approximately 750° C. The disk drive can include a drive circuitry and a lead that conducts electricity between the slider mover and the drive circuitry. The lead can be formed from substantially the same materials as the slider mover.

    摘要: A perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) head is fabricated with a configuration of leading edge shields and trailing edge shields that reduce the leakage of flux between the main pole and the shields. The reduction of leakage is achieved by eliminating the sharp 90° corner between the backside surfaces of the shields and the surfaces adjacent to the main pole. In one embodiment the corner is replaced by two successive acute angles, in another embodiment it is replaced by a rounded surface. In a final embodiment, leakage between the pole and trailing edge shield is achieved by shortening the length of the write gap by forming the shield with a double taper.

    摘要: Various embodiments are described for back channel communication. One embodiment is a method that comprises receiving data at customer premises equipment (CPE), determining at least one error in the received data, formatting the determined error for communication to a central office (CO), and sending the formatted error to the CO via a back channel, wherein the formatted error is sent between sync frames of a discrete multitone (DMT) superframe.
