    摘要: Magnetic disk drive systems and associated methods are described for testing magnetic disk performance for certification with a plurality of magnetic disk drive systems prior to installation. The test system may position a slider at a first spacing between the magnetic disk in the slider and simulate the recording performance of a disk drive system with the magnetic disk at the first spacing. The disk drive test system may then transfer a control signal to a heating element in the slider to move the slider to a different spacing between the magnetic disk and the slider to simulate the recording performance of another disk drive system. The test system may, thus, use a single slider to certify a magnetic disk with a plurality of disk drive systems.

    摘要: Approaches for a testing device for selecting a discrete track media (DTM) format for use with a particular head of a hard-disk drive (HDD). The testing device comprises a continuous magnetic-recording disk, rotatably mounted on a spindle, which stores data using a continuous media format. The testing device also comprises a testing module configured to simulate reading data, stored using a discrete track media (DTM) format, from the continuous magnetic-recording medium. Advantageously, testing time and cost is reduced as both discrete track media (DTM) disks and expensive discrete track media (DTM) recording testing hardware are not required to select the optimal a discrete track media (DTM) format for use with a particular head of a hard-disk drive (HDD). In addition, embodiments may be used to optimize features of the tracks of the DTM disk, such as the land to groove ratio.

    摘要: Methods and test systems are disclosed for determining the quality of an erase process for perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) disks. After performing an erase process on a PMR disk and before the PMR disk is assembled into a hard disk drive, a first test pattern of magnetization pulses is written to a region of the PMR disk. A second test pattern is subsequently read from the region of the PMR disk. The second pattern of magnetization pulses is analyzed in relation to the first test pattern and measured to determine the quality of the erase process.

    摘要: A magnetic test module runs on a spin stand to detect amplitude decay and noise evolution at the same time. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) decay is directly measured. The recording performance is correlated better with SNR instead of signal only. The thermal stability of the system is evaluated more accurately with this SNR decay method. A heater is placed under the media disk, and a remote sensing thermometer and temperature controller form a subsystem to set up desired environmental temperature. The heater creates a heated band and the read/write head flies above the heated band. The temperature control system may be removed when SNR decay measurement is performed under room temperature.
