This paper presents the feasibility of the piezoelectric shunt damping for vibration suppression of the highly rotating HDD disk-spindle system. A target vibration mode which restricts the recording density increment of the drive is determined by modal analysis of the drive, and a piezoelectric bimorph is designed to suppress the vibration level of the target mode. After deriving the generalized two-dimensional electromechanical coupling coefficient of the shunted spindle-disk system, the damping performance of the system is predicted by simulating the displacement transmissibility on the target mode. After manufacturing the proposed drive, the vibration suppression performance of the proposed methodology is experimentally evaluated in frequency domain.

A main vibration source in HDD is arisen from high rotating disk/spindle, and vibration suppression of the disk-spindle system becomes a critical issue and a major concern for high performance of the drive. In this paper, we study the feasibility of suppressing unwanted vibration of disk-spindle system of the HDD by external shock and excitation utilizing piezoelectric shunt damping methodology. By considering dynamic characteristics of the disk-spindle system through modal analysis, a target vibration mode is determined and then the piezoelectric material is carefully integrated to the modified drive. In order to maximize improvement of vibration characteristics of the proposed system, shunt circuit is optimally designed via tuning processes. Finally, the vibration characteristics of the high rotating disk-spindle system of the proposed drive is experimentally evaluated in frequency domain.

Fluid dynamic bearings (FDBs) have been replacing ball bearings of the HDD spindle motor very rapidly. But there are several demerits of HDB, such as high friction torque, variable viscosity of the fluid lubricant depending on operating temperature, low stiffness, and etc. Eccentricity is one of the major parameters which affects the static and dynamic characteristics. As the static eccentricity is larger, the stiffness and the damping coefficients become bigger. But friction torque is relatively unaffected by the static eccentricity. This research proposes a new type of journal bearing with asymmetric journal grooves which results in better dynamic characteristics. The static and dynamic characteristics of the new journal bearing are investigated by solving the Reynolds' equation with FEM, and the transient analysis is performed to predict the dynamic behavior of rotor by solving the equations of motion of a HDD spindle system with Runge-Kutta method. The result shows that the proposed Journal bearings have much bigger stiffness and damping coefficients compared with the conventional symmetric ones. And consequently, it has smaller whirl radius and tilting angle.

This paper introduces the mechanism of the ESD(electrostatic discharge) in the HDD spindle system using FDBs(fluid dynamic bearings). When a HDD(hard disk drive) spindle system is rotating, triboelectric charging occurs in the FDBs through the friction between the lubricant and the rotating shaft or between the lubricant and stationary sleeve. And this electrostatic charge is accumulated in the rotating parts of the HDD spindle system because they are insulated from the ground by the lubricant. This research shows experimentally that the behavior of electric charge and discharge in the FDB spindle system is the same as that of a capacitor. It also measures the electrostatic voltage difference between the rotating and stationary parts in the FDB spindle system due to the change of humidity, supporting load and motor speed. This research shows that the control of ESD is required in the HDD spindle system using FDBs, because the electrostatic charge accumulated in the FDB spindle system may cause the breakdown damage of the GMR head and data loss consequently.

This paper presents a finite element analysis of the electromechanical field in the spindle motor of a computer hard disk drive considering the speed control and mechanical flexibility. The driving circuit equation is modified by considering the switching action of PWM inverter, and is coupled with the Maxwell equation to obtain the nonlinear time-stepping finite element equation for the analysis of magnetic field. Magnetic force and torque are calculated by the Maxwell stress tensor. Mechanical motion of a rotor is determined by a time-stopping finite element method considering the flexibility of shaft, rotor and bearing. Both magnetic and mechanical finite element equations are combined in the closed loop to control the speed using PWM. Simulation results are verified by the experiments, and they are in food agreement with the experimental results.

An investigation of the TMR(Track Misregistration) requirements to achieve the capacity of 80GBytes／Platter in 7200rpm disk drive system is reported. This paper also gives an overview of the PES(Position Error Signal) characteristics in the 57,500TPI disk drive to estimate the required 95,000TPI-system PES. The TMR measured by PES are presented and decomposed in order to identify the portions and their contributions of the spindle-disk system vibration and HSA(Head-Stack-Assembly) system vibration respectively. A comprehensive review on the servo system is also presented to provide the practical limits of the modem servo architecture into TMR budget design. The decomposed PES energy distribution shows that the spindle-disk pack vibration is one of the top-ranking sources of the total TMR budget and its percentage contribution is about 50％ considering all the other TMR sources.

전통적인 대용량 스토리지 시스템을 위해 하드디스크 기반의 RAID 시스템이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 하드디스크 기반의 RAID 시스템은 외부의 충격에 약하기 때문에 데이터의 신뢰성이 낮고 스핀들 모터의 빈번한 동작으로 인해 전력소모가 많다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 하드디스크를 대체하여 다양한 Erasure 코드를 적용한 SSD 기반 RAID-6 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 방법으로 Reed-Solomon, EVENODD, Liberation 코딩 기법을 파일시스템 레벨과 디바이스 드라이버 레벨에 각각 적용하였다. 그리고 SSD의 수명저하에 미치는 영향을 최소화하기 위하여 데이터 할당 기법을 적용하였다. 제안된 Erasure 코드가 적용된 RAID-6 시스템에 HDD 와 SSD 를 사용하여 실험한 결과 Liberation 코드가 다른 코드에 비해 SSD 수명저하에 영향을 적게 끼침을 파악하였으며, Erasure 코드들을 파일시스템 레벨에 적용 하였을 경우보다 디바이스 드라이버 레벨에 적용하였을 때 성능이 더 높았다. 또한 HDD를 기반으로 사용하였을 경우 보다 SSD 를 기반으로 사용하였을 경우에 입출력 성능이 4.5%~8.5% 더 향상 되었고 전력소모는 18%~40% 절감되었다.

This paper presents a numerical method to analyze the electromechanical-coupled field in the spindle motor of a computer hard drive and investigates dynamic response due to the electromechanical excitation, i.e. unbalanced magnetic force and centrifugal force for the rotational asymmetric motor. Magnetic field is calculated from Maxwells equation and voltage equation by introducing nonlinear time-dependent finite element analysis. Mechanical motion of rotor is calculated by solving Newton-Euler equation. Electromechanical excitation and dynamic response are characterized by analyzing the free response of a rotating rotor and Fourier analysis of the excitation force and resulting vibration of a rotor. It shows that centrifugal force produces the unbalanced magnetic force even in the rotational symmetric motor. It also shows that resonance produces quite considerable vibration even when the high excitation frequency with small amplitude matches with the natural frequency of the spindle motor.
