Abstract: A data storage drive includes a servo loop for positioning a head over a disc. The servo loop includes a sensor, located in the head, that senses servo information located on the disc and produces a servo signal therefrom. The servo signal is combined with a reference signal to produce a raw position error signal (PES). The servo loop further also at least one phase-matching disturbance attenuation (PMDA) filter that receives the raw PES as an input and responsively outputs a vibration-cancellation signal, which, when combined with the raw PES, cancels vibration-induced disturbance from the raw PES, thereby producing a refined PES. A servo controller receives the refined PES and responsively produces a servo control signal. An actuator moves the head in response to receiving the servo control signal.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides a system and method that improves interlaced magnetic recording (IMR) data throughput in vibration in storage systems.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for managing data transfers in a data storage device with rotational media that can be rotated at different speeds. In some embodiments, a non-volatile main memory is formed on a rotatable medium accessed by a moveable data transducer. A media cache provides a non-volatile data storage area. A control circuit directs writes to the main memory as the medium is rotated at a first speed and directs reads from the main memory as the medium is rotated at a higher, second speed. Writes during the rotation of the medium at the second speed are directed to the media cache instead of to the main memory so that no data are written to the main memory at the second speed. The media cache may also be located on the medium or may be formed from solid-state semiconductor memory.

Abstract: Systems and methods for compensating for magnetoresistive (MR) jog offset direct current (DC) drift in a disc drive are described. In one embodiment, a method may include determining an occurrence of NOS, for example, by monitoring disc slip, to determine when the method should proceed. An MR jog offset DC drift amount is determined for each head of the disc drive. One of several approaches may be employed for determining the MR jog offset DC drift amount. By determining an MR jog offset DC drift amount for each head, a compensation profile is determined for the drive. The determined compensation profile may then be used during operation of the disc drive to compensate for the DC drift. One of several approaches may be employed for compensating based on the compensation profile.
