摘要:
According to an aspect of an embodiment, a storage apparatus includes a judgment unit which judges the clearance between a head and a recording medium. A mode switcher switches from a regular write mode in which data is written on the medium to a write verification mode in which error is checked by reading the data immediately after writing on the medium, where the judgment unit detects a clearance change. A heater control value adjustor corrects for errors detected in the write verification mode by changing a prescribed heater control value for the heater by executing write verifications. An access processor controls the clearance between the head and the medium by heating the head according to the adjusted heater control value, to compensate for operational variables such as low atmospheric pressure.

According to one embodiment, a disk storage apparatus includes a read module, a measuring module, and a compensating module. The read module is configured to read first and second signals recorded on a disk, from which to measure the flying height of a head. The measuring module is configured to calculate the flying height of the head from the first and second measurement signals read by the read module. The compensating module is configured to use the data representing the flying height representing error resulting from superparamagnetic effect, thereby compensating for the flying height measured by the measuring module.

According to one embodiment, an apparatus for controlling a head includes a transmitting module and a controller. The transmitting module is configured to transmit a write signal to a magnetic head having a spin torque oscillator at the time of recording data. The controller is configured to supply a drive signal that has a level higher than the ordinary level for a prescribed effective time, to the spin-torque oscillator in response to an input write gate that instructs the recording of data. During a period other than prescribed effective time, the controller supplies a drive signal having the ordinary level to the spin-torque oscillator.
