Abstract: A data storage device is disclosed comprising a first plurality of heads actuated over a first subset of disk surfaces by a first servo control loop comprising a first coarse actuator and a first fine actuator, and a second plurality of heads actuated over a second subset of the disk surfaces by a second servo control loop comprising a second coarse actuator and a second fine actuator. A plurality of access commands are received, wherein each access command is associated with one of the heads. While executing a first access command using the first servo control loop, a disturbance is ramped while injecting the disturbance into the second servo control loop, and the second fine actuator is calibrated based on the disturbance.

Abstract: A data storage device is disclosed comprising a storage medium, an input configured to receive a supply voltage from a voltage source, and control circuitry powered by the supply voltage. The control circuitry is configured to adjust a load of the data storage device, detect a load voltage at the adjusted load, detect a load current at the adjusted load, process the detected load voltage and the detected load current to detect a current limit of the voltage source, and configure the data storage device in response to the detected current limit of the voltage source.

Abstract: A data storage device is disclosed comprising a first head actuated over the first disk surface, and a second head actuated over a second disk surface. A concurrent access of the first and second disk surface is executed by accessing the first disk surface without accessing the second disk surface during a single access interval, and after the single access interval, concurrently accessing the first and second disk surface during a dual access interval.

Abstract: A data storage device comprising a first actuator configured to actuate a first head over a first disk surface, and a second actuator configured to actuate a second head over a second disk surface. A plurality of access commands are received from a host, and a cost metric is computed for executing a seek to execute each access command of the plurality of access commands, wherein the cost metric is based on an access latency of the seek, a power consumption of the seek, and an estimated combined current draw of the first and second actuators during the seek. The access commands are sorted into an execution order based on the cost metrics computed for the access commands.

Abstract: A data storage device is disclosed comprising a coarse actuator configured to actuate a first head over a first disk surface and a second head over a second disk surface. A first fine actuator is configured to actuate the first head over the first disk surface, and a second fine actuator is configured to actuate the second head over the second disk surface. A first bias signal is calibrated for the first fine actuator, and a second bias signal is calibrated for the second fine actuator. The first fine actuator is controlled based on the first bias signal and the second fine actuator is controlled based on the second bias signal in order to concurrently access the first disk surface and the second disk surface.

Abstract: A data storage device is disclosed comprising a first actuator configured to actuate a first head over a first disk surface, and a second actuator configure to actuate a second head over a second disk surface. A first seek of the first head over the first disk surface is initiated during a first seek time based on a first seek profile. A second seek of the second head over the second disk surface is initiated during a second seek time based on a second seek profile. When the second seek time at least partially overlaps the first seek time and at least the second seek profile is a de-rated seek profile, the second seek profile is adjusted to avoid an overcurrent condition.
