摘要: Provided are a controller, tape drive, and method for determining a lateral position at which to move a tape head. The tape head, comprising a first module having a first servo reader and a second module having a second servo reader, is rotated to rotate the second servo reader at skew angles with respect to the first servo reader. A determination is made of estimated lateral positions of the second reader at the skew angles. Expected lateral positions of the second servo reader at the skew angles are calculated from a calculated distance between the first and the second servo readers and the skew angles. Lateral error offsets, comprising differences of estimated lateral positions and expected lateral positions at the skew angles, are added to an error offset data structure used to adjust a target lateral position at which to position the tape head.

摘要: According to one embodiment, a data processor includes an interface section and a processor. The interface section is configured to acquire partial data relating to a control condition of a magnetic recording/reproducing device. The processor is configured to process the partial data. The processor is configured to derive a first data by processing the partial data with a first model based on characteristics of the partial data, a first resolution of the first data being higher than a partial resolution of the partial data. The processor is configured to derive a second data by processing the partial data with a second model based on the characteristic. The second model is different from the first model. A second resolution of the second data being higher than the partial resolution.

摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to a dual free layer (DFL) two dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) read head, and a method of forming thereof. The read head comprises a lower sensor, middle shields disposed on the lower sensor, and an upper sensor disposed on the middle shields. After the lower reader is formed, a dielectric layer is deposited around an outer perimeter of the lower shield. Portions of the dielectric layer are ion milled such that the remaining portions form a substantially flat layer. Another embodiment includes a deposition of a TaOx layer on the dielectric layer, where x is a numeral. Portions of the dielectric layer and the TaOx layer are then ion milled such that the remaining portions of the TaOx layer and the dielectric layer collectively form a substantially planar layer. The middle shields are formed over the lower reader and are substantially planar.

摘要: According to one embodiment, first, a frequency to be corrected by an MA additional filter is specified based on a head position error spectrum and a multi-rate sensitivity characteristic, in a state before the MA additional filter is added. Then, a candidate in which a peak of the multi-rate sensitivity characteristic is equal to or less than a threshold value and a head position error is minimized is determined as the MA additional filter to be used, in a state in which each of a plurality of candidates of the MA additional filter is added.
