Low flying head detection using readback signal amplitude modulation |
May 16, 2006 |
| A method for determining whether a data storage device read/write head is a low-flying read/write head or a non low-flying read/write head. A disc attached to a spindle motor is accelerated to an operating rotational velocity, the head is positioned over a portion of the disc non-acc |

Calibration of reader/writer offset in a disc drive |
January 21, 2003 |
| A method for improving read error rates in a disc drive employing repeatable run-out compensation for writing but not for reading is disclosed. Pursuant to the method, a repeatable run-out compensation system which compensates for repeatable run-out during write operations but not du |

Optimal reader/writer offsets and write fault thresholds in a disc drive |
July 16, 2002 |
| A method for optimizing data transfer performance in a disc drive through selection of optimal reader/writer offsets and write fault thresholds. An initial offset for a selected track is determined as the radial distance between read and write elements of a head as the head is positioned |

Selection of optimal read/write channel parameters in a hard disc drive |
June 30, 1998 |
| Method for optimizing parameter values in a read/write channel of a disc drive. A population of error rate points is obtained from selected ranges of a plurality of read/write channel parameters, each error rate point corresponding to a unique combination of parameter values and having a |
