A lower cost per unit of storage hard disk drive (HDD) includes multiple disk stacks and a head stack assembly (HSA) movably coupled to a rail for accessing magnetic-recording disks of each of the multiple disk stacks. Such an HDD may include multiple columns of linearly-arranged disk stacks with an HSA corresponding to each column, where the disk stacks on each side of the rail are positioned for asynchronous access by the HSA, and may include multiple HSAs coupled to the rail, where the disk stacks on each side of the rail are positioned for simultaneous access by respective HSAs being moved either synchronously or independently.

A C-shaped bobbin includes a bobbin base member adjacent and attached to a first lateral leg of an actuator coil. A bobbin recess, adjacent the bobbin base member, separates first and second bobbin wings. The first and second bobbin wings define first and second wing lengths measured parallel to first and second longitudinal legs of the coil, respectively, and also define first and second wing widths measured normal to the first and second longitudinal legs, respectively. The bobbin recess defines a recess depth measured normal to the first lateral leg, and defines a recess width measured parallel to the first lateral leg. Each of the first and second wing lengths is less than the length of the longitudinal legs. The recess depth is at least half a base member width. The recess width is at least twice the first wing width and/or the second wing width.

Various illustrative aspects are directed to a data storage device comprising data tracks N and N−1, and one or more processing devices, configured to identify, during a track write on the data track N, a write abort event based upon an expected risk for the data track N−1 exceeding a risk threshold, read one or more sectors of the data track N−1 and collect one or more corresponding sector metrics, verify the one or more sectors based upon the collected sector metrics, wherein the verifying comprises assigning each of the one or more sectors as one of a readable or a non-readable sector, and continue the track write on the data track N upon determining each of the one or more sectors is a readable sector, or recovering and relocating the data track N−1 based on determining at least one of the sectors is a non-readable sector.

Various illustrative aspects are directed to a data storage device comprising: a voice coil motor (VCM) and one or more processing devices, configured to actuate the VCM, switch on measuring a back electromotive force (BEMF) from the VCM for intervals of an initial BEMF measurement that are free of spikes in the initial BEMF measurement, and process a measured BEMF signal from the intervals of the initial BEMF measurement that are free of spikes in a change of current term of the initial BEMF measurement.

An actuator assembly for crosstalk reduction in hard disk drives (HDDs) is provided. The actuator assembly comprises a base plate; a pivot; a voice coil motor (VCM) with an upper yoke and a lower yoke; and a cut-out insert having a predetermined stiffness and predetermined magnetic properties, wherein the cut-out insert corresponds to a cut-out recess of the base plate, and wherein the lower yoke of the VCM and the pivot are coupled to the cut-out insert.

Approaches to a rotary actuator assembly configured for use in a hard disk drive (HDD) include a voice coil interleaved between the pivot bearing and the actuator arm, providing a longer pivot-to-head dimension which reduces the radius of curvature of the arc in which the head slider travels over the disk for accessing portions of the disk. Reducing the arc radius of curvature reduces the maximum skew angles of the read-write head in association with the disk tracks. The width of the actuator arm can be widened to provide improved operating characteristics even in view of the longer pivot-to-head dimension.

Approaches to improving actuator settle time by damping vibrations resulting from coil modes, such as with a voice coil actuator in a hard disk drive, include a single-piece damper plate coupled to the voice coil actuator yoke. The damper plate may be a single U-shaped piece of metal that covers the area of the yoke that experiences the maximum strain energy during operation, between the voice coil and the pivot bearing housing.
