    Abstract: A data storage device includes a data storage disk, an arm, a first head, an elevator, and a sleeve. The data storage disk has a first read/write surface defining an x-y plane. The arm is attached to a pivot block, wherein the arm is movable relative to the disk. The first head is supported by the arm, wherein the first head is configured to interact with the first read/write surface. The elevator is configured to move the arm in a z direction, wherein the elevator comprises a stepper motor, a gear train, and a lead screw. The sleeve partially encases the lead screw. In another aspect, a data storage device includes a data storage disk, an arm, a first head, an elevator, and a housing encasing the gear train and attached to the pivot block.

    Abstract: A data storage device includes a disc, an actuator arm assembly, a servo clock, and a feedback and control system. The disc includes a top and bottom surfaces and a servo wedge. The servo wedge includes a top surface boundary and a bottom surface boundary. The actuator arm assembly supports a head pair configured for interaction with the top and bottom surfaces. The servo clock is configured to determine a top time at which the head pair encounters the top surface boundary and a bottom time at which the head pair encounters the bottom surface boundary during a disc read/write interaction. The feedback and control system is configured to determine an operation time difference; compare the operation time difference to a certification time difference correlating to a target vertical position of the actuator arm assembly relative to the disc; and move the actuator arm assembly to the target vertical position.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and processes having a dependent write fault threshold are disclosed. A first sector may have a first write fault threshold and a second sector, adjacent to the first sector, may have a second write fault threshold, and the write fault thresholds can be variable based on a position error signal value of an adjacent sector. In some embodiments, the adjacent sectors may each be in an adjacent track. In other embodiments, the adjacent sectors may be in the same track. Further, a track may have two write fault thresholds, a positive direction threshold and a negative direction threshold; in some embodiments, only one direction's threshold may be variable based on the position error signal of the adjacent sector, while the opposite direction's threshold may be set to a default (e.g. pre-determined not on a sector by sector basis) value.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed having a write fault threshold for a set of tracks. A set of tracks may have a shared write fault threshold budget, and a write fault threshold for the second track may be selected based on the shared budget reduced by an off-track position error signal value of the first track. In certain embodiments, an apparatus may comprise a processor configured to determine a position error signal value for a first data track, set a write fault threshold for a second data track adjacent to the first data track based on the position error signal, and write data to the second data track based on the write fault threshold.
