Patent number: 12266385Abstract: A data storage device comprises a lead actuator that actuates a first read-write head over a first disk and a support actuator that actuates a second read-write head over a second disk. A spindle motor rotates the first and second disks. In response to an emergency power off (EPO) event, a processing device retracts and parks the actuators using an internal supply voltage generated from a back electromotive force (BEMF) voltage of the spindle motor, and brakes the spindle motor. The spindle motor is not braked until both the lead and support actuators have been retracted and parked.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2023Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: Western Digital Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Brian Johnson, Jaesoo Byoun, Gaku Ikedo, Hideaki Ito, Naoyuki Kagami, Hiroki Watanabe
