    Abstract: A write head including a bearing surface and a write pole having a front surface that forms a portion of the bearing surface. The front surface has a leading edge, a trailing edge and side edges connecting the leading and trailing edges. The write head also includes side shields proximate to the side edges of the write pole, and a trailing shield over the write pole and the side shields. A trailing shield-write pole gap is present between the trailing edge and the trailing shield, and a trailing shield-side shield gap is present between the trailing shield and the side shields. The trailing shield-shield shield gap is substantially less than the trailing shield-write pole gap.

    Abstract: A data writer may be constructed and operated as part of a data storage device. The data writer can be positioned proximal a data storage medium. The data writer may have a write pole positioned adjacent a writer coil with the writer coil having a plurality of turns. A controller that is connected to each turn can be adapted to selectively activate less than all the coil turns in response to the data writer being positioned over a first portion of a data storage medium and selectively activate all of the coil turns in response to the data writer being positioned over a second portion of the data storage medium.

    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein includes a storage device comprising a plurality of readers, including a first subset of readers configured to read a first subset of tracks and a second subset of readers configured to read a second subset of tracks, the first subset of tracks being wider than the second subset of tracks. In another implementation, the readers in the first subset of readers are wider than the readers in the second subset of readers. The wider readers may be configured to recover servo information and the narrow readers may be configured to recover data information. The storage devices may include two-dimensional magnetic recording, conventional perpendicular magnetic recording, shingled magnetic recording, multi-sensor magnetic recording, and interlaced magnetic recording.

    Abstract: A data writer can be fabricated by constructing a write pole to continuously extend from an air bearing surface prior to depositing a first gap layer to continuously extend from the ABS in contact with a first write pole sidewall. A first side shield protrusion can then be formed on the air bearing surface to be separated from the write pole by the first gap layer. A second gap layer may be deposited to continuously extend from the first side shield protrusion along the first write pole sidewall to define a dielectric region on which a second side shield protrusion is formed with the second side shield protrusion separated from the write pole by the first and second gap layers and the first and second side shield protrusions each cantilevered from a common side shield body.

    Abstract: The present application relates to a write gap structure for a magnetic recording head. In illustrated embodiments, the write gap structure includes multiple write gap segments along a beveled pole tip surface between a top edge and a bottom edge of the beveled pole tip surface to provide a narrow write gap proximate to the air bearing surface and a larger write gap behind the air bearing surface. In illustrated embodiments, the narrow write gap segment is formed between the beveled pole tip surface and a lower back surface of front shield and the larger write gap is formed between the beveled pole tip surface and an upper back surface of the front shield.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a memory, such as a flash memory array. In accordance with some embodiments, a memory cell is provided with a plurality of available programming states to accommodate multi-level cell (MLC) programming. A control circuit stores a single bit logical value to the memory cell using single level cell (SLC) programming to provide a first read margin between first and second available programming states. The control circuit subsequently stores a single bit logical value to the memory cell using virtual multi-level cell (VMLC) programming to provide a larger, second read margin between the first available programming state and a third available programming state.
