    摘要: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with a detector that processes signals read from a storage device are described. According to one embodiment, the detector includes a signal estimator configured to generate an estimate of a control signal by determining characteristics of the control signal from a read signal. The read signal includes the data signal and the control signal embedded together. The signal estimator is configured to generate the estimate of the control signal as a function of the characteristics. The detector includes a cancellation unit configured to produce the data signal by cancelling the estimate of the control signal from the read signal.

    摘要: A disk drive is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk comprising a plurality of tracks defined by servo sectors forming a plurality of full wedges and a plurality of mini wedges. The wedge ID field of a servo sector forming one of the full wedges is offset from a beginning of a sync mark by a first offset, and the wedge ID field of a servo sector forming one of the mini wedges is offset from the beginning of the sync mark by a second offset equal to the first offset. A first servo sector is read from the disk to generate a read signal, the read signal is demodulated to detect the wedge ID of the first servo sector, and the detected wedge ID is evaluated to determine whether the first servo sector forms one of the mini wedges.

    摘要: A method for recording data to a magnetic media while simultaneously reading sync and or servo data with reduced noise from the write head affecting the reading of the sync and or servo data. The invention records data using a write head of a first slider and reads the sync and or servo data from a read head located on a different slider that is facing a different disk surface than the first slider. In this way, magnetic or thermal noise from the write head does not affect the reading of the sync and or servo data.

    摘要: Pre-patterned discrete track media for self-servo writing are described. Embodiments include land and groove patterns for two or more Integrated Servo sequence fields for each servo sector in which one of the Integrated Servo sequence fields is aligned with the data track and a second sequence is offset by one-half of a track width. The lands and grooves between the Integrated Servo sequence fields are preferably the same width as those between the data tracks to facilitate planarization. Alternative embodiments include a sync feature for each servo sector formed by a selected groove and/or land pattern as a marker for the start of the servo fields. Alternative embodiments include a bootstrap zone with servo patterns that are readable when DC-magnetized. Described methods of self-servowriting include ways to adapt to eccentricity and non-circularity of pre-patterned discrete tracks with respect to the head paths.
