Title: Architecture for Hard Disk Drives

Abstract

Magnetic data storage has made rapid progress in terms of areal density over the past few decades. Current products have areal density levels that exceed 10(12) bits per square inch, about 1000 times greater than areal densities of the mid-1990s. Five component technologies have become hard-disk-drive industry standards over the past two decades: read heads based on giant magnetoresistance or tunneling magnetoresistance, perpendicular write heads, perpendicular recording media, heaters, and contact detection sensors. At the recording system level, shingled magnetic recording has been implemented by all disk-drive companies, but it has not become a new standard due to the additional penalty in access time (or latency). Here, interlaced magnetic recording and blocked magnetic recording are introduced and compared with conventional and shingled magnetic recording.

Spinstand demonstration of areal density enhancement using two-dimensional magnetic recording (invited)

Journal Article Lippman, Thomas ; Brockie, Richard ; Contreras, John ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Exponential growth of the areal density has driven the magnetic recording industry for almost sixty years. But now areal density growth is slowing down, suggesting that current technologies are reaching their fundamental limit. The next generation of recording technologies, namely, energy-assisted writing and bit-patterned media, remains just over the horizon. Two-Dimensional Magnetic Recording (TDMR) is a promising new approach, enabling continued areal density growth with only modest changes to the heads and recording electronics. We demonstrate a first generation implementation of TDMR by using a dual-element read sensor to improve the recovery of data encoded by a conventional low-density parity-checkmore »« less

Time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy of flux beam formation in hard disk write heads

Journal Article Valkass, Robert A. J., ; Spicer, Timothy M. ; Burgos Parra, Erick ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

To meet growing data storage needs, the density of data stored on hard disk drives must increase. In pursuit of this aim, the magnetodynamics of the hard disk write head must be characterized and understood, particularly the process of “flux beaming.” In this study, seven different configurations of perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) write heads were imaged using time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy, revealing their detailed dynamic magnetic state during the write process. It was found that the precise position and number of driving coils can significantly alter the formation of flux beams during the write process. These results are applicable tomore »« less

Ultra-thin overcoats for the head/disk interface tribology

Conference Bhatia, C S ; Anders, S ; Brown, I G

Areal density in magnetic storage is increasing at a blistering pace of 60% annually. Recently IBM announced its mobile product with the industry highest areal density of 2.64 Gb/In{sup 2}. The areal density demonstrations have shown up to 5 Gb/In{sup 2} possible. Reaching higher areal density targets dictate that magnetic spacing between heads and disks be reduced. For the example of a 10 Gb/In{sup 2} areal density goal, the magnetic spacing should be {approx}25 nm. In budgeting this magnetic spacing, it is required that disk and slider air bearing surface overcoats thickness be reduced to 5 nm range. Present choicemore »« less

DVD - digital versatile disks

Conference Gaunt, R

An international standard has emerged for the first true multimedia format. Digital Versatile Disk (by its official name), you may know it as Digital Video Disks. DVD has applications in movies, music, games, information CD-ROMS, and many other areas where massive amounts of digital information is needed. Did I say massive amounts of data? Would you believe over 17 gigabytes on a single piece of plastic the size of an audio-CD? That`s the promise, at least, by the group of nine electronics manufacturers who have agreed to the format specification, and who hope to make this goal a reality bymore »« less
