摘要： A disk drive that can detect contact between a head and a disk during an off-track operation such as a seek routine, a ramp load or a head take-off. The disk drive includes a circuit that causes the head to move across the disk in a seek routine. A head heater element is driven to move the head into contact with the disk. A read signal provided by the head is filtered through a band pass filter that has a center frequency. The frequency that produces the maximum signal is selected as the center frequency for the band pass filter. The drive can monitor subsequent head contact during an off-track operation by detecting output from the band pass filter.

摘要： A hard disk drive with a disk that contains a target track and an adjacent track. The drive includes a circuit that determines an error in data read from the target track. Data from the adjacent track is stored in memory. The adjacent track is then erased and the target track data is re-read from the target track. Erasing the adjacent track allows the target track data to be read without adjacent track interference. The data from the adjacent track is typically rewritten onto the disk from memory so no data is lost.

摘要： A hard disk drive with a disk that includes a first group of tracks and a second group of tracks. The second group of tracks are used to write large blocks of data. For example, data in the second group may be video or audio. The second group of tracks has a higher track density than the first group of tracks. The large data block is written sequentially in the second group of tracks so that there is only one adjacent track write within the group. Using only one adjacent track write allows the tracks within the second group to be overlapped to increase track density.

摘要： A hard disk drive that determines a flying height from a ratio of a first harmonic transfer function and a third harmonic transfer function. The transfer functions can be determined from a response to an impulse function. The impulse function (also known as an impulse response) can be a playback waveform de-convolved by channel data sequence. Any change in the ratio of the first and third harmonic transfer functions corresponds to a change in the flying height. The disk drive may utilize the transfer function ratios in a feedback routine to control the flying height.
