摘要： A disk drive having a control system which adjusts seek velocity profiles is disclosed. The seek velocity profile is adjusted based on the direction of the seek and the location of the target track. If the seek is away from the ramp, the seek velocity profile is not adjusted. If the seek is toward the ramp, the control system determines the location of the target track. If the target track is within a predefined distance of the ramp, and the transducer velocity exceeds a predetermined velocity, the seek velocity profile is adjusted to limit the deceleration current. The adjustment may be a preset factor, or may be a variable factor depending upon the distance from the target track to the ramp.
摘要翻译：公开了一种具有调整寻道速度分布的控制系统的磁盘驱动器。根据寻道方向和目标轨迹的位置来调整寻道速度分布。如果寻道远离斜坡，寻道速度曲线不被调整。如果寻道朝向坡道，则控制系统确定目标轨道的位置。如果目标轨迹在斜坡的预定距离内，并且换能器速度超过预定速度，则调整寻道速度曲线以限制减速电流。调整可以是预设因子，或者可以是根据从目标轨道到斜坡的距离的可变因子。

摘要： Dynamically detecting off-track errors in a disk drive by adjusting transducer head position control parameters in response to shock events. In an embodiment, shock events with large magnitude trigger a severe shock timer which lengthens the write fault before write operations resume. In another embodiment, a lower shock threshold is used following an initial shock event. In yet another embodiment, a lower shock threshold is used if an accumulated average position error of the transducer head is large.

摘要： A method and apparatus for writing servo information to disks within a disk drive is disclosed. A servo track writer is used to write first servo information to the disks. The disk drive is then sealed, and the read/write heads within the disk drive are used to fill in second servo information. The first servo information includes digital information and A, B, C, and D servo bursts for a first number of tracks on the disks. The first servo information also includes digital information and A and B servo bursts for the remaining tracks on the disks. After the disk drive is sealed in the manufacturing process, the read/write heads within the disk drive fill in the second servo information, which includes C and D servo bursts for the remaining tracks. The read head reads the first servo information in the first number of tracks, and the position of the write head is adjusted based on the first servo information. The write head is then used to write the second servo information to a first remaining track, resulting in complete servo information for the first remaining track. The read head then reads the complete servo information in the first remaining track, and writes the second servo information for a second remaining track. This continues until the complete servo information is propagated to all of the remaining tracks.

摘要： A RAID system is provided which can be implemented as a hardware RAID system while avoiding certain shortcomings of previous RAID systems. The RAID system makes it possible to avoid or reduce the number of buffers or processors and can take advantage of drive logic to achieve RAID functions or enhancements. RAID functionality can be provided in a manner to accommodate one or more ATA drive interfaces. To avoid drive replacement problems, host requests for drive serial numbers are responded to with a mirror serial number. In one embodiment, the read address is used to select which drive will perform a read operation.

摘要： A method and apparatus for dynamically detecting write fault errors is provided. According to the invention, transducer head control parameters are adjusted according to observed events. For instance, off-track events of a certain magnitude may trigger the implementation of a severe shock timer, which lengthens the delay between the off-track event and allowing write operations to resume, as compared to the standard off-track timer. According to another embodiment of the present invention, a lower write fault threshold is implemented following an off-track event of sufficient magnitude. According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, the average or accumulated position error of the transducer head is monitored, and a lower write fault threshold implemented if the average position error exceeds a threshold value. The present invention's provision of a method and apparatus that enables transducer head control parameters to be modified in response to observed off-track events allows the disk drive to provide high resistance to data loss without significant detrimental effects on the data throughput performance of the disk drive.

摘要： A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk, a head for writing data to the disk, and control circuitry coupled to the head. The control circuitry is operable to determine a first set of fly height values and determine a threshold based on the first set of fly height values. The control circuitry determines a second set of fly height values, adjusts the threshold based on the second set of fly height values, and detects a head characteristic based on the adjusted threshold. The head characteristic is detected by detecting a head touchdown event and/or detecting contamination related to the head based on the adjusted threshold.
