An aspect of the invention can be regarded as a disk drive that includes a disk drive base and a spindle motor hub rotatably coupled to the disk drive base. The disk drive further includes a first disk disposed about the spindle motor hub. The disk drive further includes a second disk disposed about the spindle motor hub. The disk drive further includes a first disk spacer disposed between and in mechanical communication with the first and second disks. The first disk spacer has a first disk spacer first side disposed adjacent the first disk and an opposing first disk spacer second side disposed adjacent the second disk. The first disk spacer first side is defined by a first disk spacer first surface pattern. The first disk spacer second side is defined by a first disk spacer second surface pattern different than the first disk spacer first surface pattern.

An aspect of the invention can be regarded as a disk drive that includes a disk drive base and a spindle motor hub rotatably coupled to the disk drive base. The disk drive further includes a first disk disposed about the spindle motor hub and having a first disk stiffness. The disk drive further includes a second disk disposed about the spindle motor hub and having a second disk stiffness different than the first disk stiffness. According to another aspect of the present invention, the second disk has a second disk thickness different than a first disk thickness. According to another aspect of the present invention, the second disk is formed of a second material having a second material stiffness different than a first material stiffness.

摘要:
A rate of occurrence of off-track write events is determined. A seek function control parameter for a head is adaptively adjusted based on the determined rate of occurrence of the off-track write events. Related circuits and devices are also discussed.
摘要:
A method for reducing data access time in a disk drive. The disk drive includes an actuator and a servo controller. The servo controller commands the actuator to perform a seek from a current position to a target position using a profile of command effort to the actuator. The profile comprises an acceleration profile and a deceleration profile. In one aspect, the method includes defining a read profile for a seek used to position the actuator to execute a read command. A write profile is defined for a seek used to position the actuator to execute a write command, the write profile being different from the read profile for a respective seek distance. The read and write seeks are performed using the read profile and the write profile. The average time required for performing a seek command is reduced as a result of the difference between the read profiles and the write profiles.
