  • Automated tuning of disc drive seek profile
    Patent number: 6754036
    Abstract: Methods and systems in a data storage device selectively employ a seek time array and/or a seek time list to accurately predict a time required for a seek operation to move a transducer in the data storage device a given seek distance. The seek time list and/or seek time profiles are automatically compiled in the data storage device based on seek time entries located in a servo data table located in the data storage device.
