This paper is presented for the development of the brushless DC(BLDC) motor for the spindle motor of hard disk drives. To design the spindle motors for HDD, it is very important to consider the reduction of vibration and noises. To design the each parts and investigate the assemble of a motor, we need to calculate the press force and size variation according to the press force. If we design the each parts without the consideration of the size variation, we can not get good result of assemble and performance with exact size of parts. In this paper, we get the computer simulation results to verify optimal size and assemble.

HDD가 비동작중 외부충격을 받았을 경우에 대해 수치해석을 이용하여 HSA(head stack ass'y)의 거동과 헤드가 디스크 면에서 멀어지는 Lift-off level을 고찰하고, actuator의 arm blade(primary system)의 끝단에 보조의 구조물(auxiliary system)을 붙여 반사인파의 가속도입력에 의해 발생되는 HSA의 진폭을 감소시키고 내충격성능을 향상시키고자 한다. 보조 구조물의 형태와 재료는 arm blade의 공진과 연계한 공진주파수의 최적화과정에 의해 결정된다. 실제 제품의 취급에서 가장 쉽게 발생할 수 있는 0.5ms의 duration time으로부터 제품의 성능평가 요건인 2ms의 duration time까지의 반사인파의 입력에 대한 응답을 고찰한 결과 보조의 구조물을 가졌을 경우 주 시스템보다 훨씬 높은 충격에서 헤드의 lift-off이 발생되어 전체 시스템의 내충격성능을 향상시킴을 알 수 있다.

DRAM, HDD의 성장세가 둔화되면서 NVM이 그 대안으로 떠오르고 있다. Xpoint, Z-SSD등 여러 고성능 NVM이 발표되고 있으며 DRAM의 성능을 목표로 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 DRAM 수준의 고성능 NVM이 상용화 될 때 어느 정도의 성능과 가격지표를 보일 것이며 이에 대한 가격과 저장공간의 트레이드오프는 어느 정도일지 알아보기 위해 실험을 진행하였다. RAM disk로 NVM환경을 시뮬레이션 하였고 SSD, HDD 간 I/O 성능을 측정하였다. NVM과 SSD는 70배에서 200배, NVM과 디스크는 98배에서 3000배 이상 차이가 있음을 확인했다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 RAM disk와 SSD 가격지표를 조사하여 IOPS/$를 도출해 보았고 NVM이 7배의 IOPS/$를 가지지만 SSD가 18배의 GB/$를 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently, Flash Memory Drives are one of the best media to support portable and desktop computers' storage devices. Their features include non-volatility, low power consumption, and fast access time for read operations, which are sufficient to present flash memories as major database storage components for desktop and server computers. However, we need to improve traditional storage management schemes based on HDD(Hard Disk Drive) and RAID(Redundant Array of Independent Disks) due to the relatively slow or freezing characteristics of write operations of SSDs, as compared to fast read operations. In order to achieve this goal, we propose a new storage management scheme called Hetero-Mirroring based on traditional HDD mirroring scheme. Hetero-Mirroring-based storage management improves RAID-1 operation performance by balancing write-workloads and delaying write operations to avoid SSD freezing.

In magnetic hard disk drives, higher areal recording density requires reduction of head-disk spacing. To overcome the increase of stiction associated with reduction of head-disk spacing, a padder slider, which adds pads to slider's air bearing surface, can be one of the practical solution for sub 20 nm flying height, and even for near contact recording. This study investigated the tribological characteristics of a padder slider. A padder slider took off slowly but showed less friction force than a normal slider. The hot/dry CSS test and drag test indicated that pad wear of a padder slider was negligible. The tribological performance of disk is an important factor to be considered. In particular, less carbon overcoat layer of the disk will result in higher stiction and wear in slider/disk interface. In conclusion, a padder slider shows encouraging tribological performances for practical use in HDD.

A practical implementation method of squeeze-film aeroelastic disk vibration damping and its practical design performance are presented to provide a solution method to meet the tight TMR(Track Mis-Registration) design budget of high-TPI HDDs. Most previous research results are mainly based on the component-level study in the 'open-cover state' which is far from the realistic operations HDD condition. (omitted)

Solid State Device(SSD)는 플래시 메모리 모듈을 기반으로한 차세대 저장장치로서 디스크 회전방식의 Hard Disk Drive(HDD)를 대체하는 장치로 주목받고 있다. 하지만, 현재의 운영체제 I/O 스케줄러는 HDD 에 최적화되어 있기 때문에 플래시 모듈 기반의 SSD 의 성능을 최대한 끌어내지 못하는 한계를 갖고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 우리는 SSD 의 성능을 끌어올리기 위해 SSD 의 특징을 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 SSD 에 최적화된 I/O 스케줄러를 고안하였다. 새로운 스케줄러(NSCHED)는 I/O Request 를 두 그룹으로 분류하고 각 요청에 타이머를 설정함으로써 I/O Request 를 빠르게 처리함과 동시에 기아방지를 위한 기법을 가진다. 우리는 Linux 2.6.30 에서 NSCHED 스케줄러를 구현하여 Postmark 벤치마크를 통해 성능평가를 수행했으며, NSCHED 스케줄러가 기본 Linux I/O 스케줄러보다 30% 가량 낮은 응답 시간이 소요됨을 확인했다.

Various types of latch designs for hard disk drives using load/unload mechanism have been introduced to protect undesired release motions of a voice coil motor(VCM) actuator from sudden disturbances. Recently, various inertia-type latches have been widely used because locking performance is better than that of other types of latch. However there has been a limit in the inertia type in order to guarantee perfect latch and unlatch operations because of changes in latch/unlatch conditions due to mechanical tolerance and temperature-dependent friction. In this paper, a reliable and robust magnetic latch mechanism is proposed through only simple modifications of coil and yoke shapes in order to overcome the mechanical limit of current inertia-type latches. This new magnetic latch does not have only a simple structure but it also ensures reliable operations and anti-shock performance. The operating mechanism of the proposed latch is theoretically analyzed and optimally designed using an electromagnetic simulation.

In order to estimate the life of 2,5 inch HDD which is adopted by PC environment, make the test plan which reflect the failure mode of market, make the test model of accelerated life test which reflect the stress of temperature. after an analysis of the environment of PC using, test procedure was decided that operation was write 50 % and read 50 %, and then access method was sequential 50 % and random 50%. The acceleration life test was executed on condition that temperature was $50^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, performance was 95 % in max performance, test time was 1000 hours. by the test of goodness of fit of anderson-darling of the failure data during test, it was confirmed that the distribution of failure fellow weibull. test for shape and scale was equal, and shape parameter was 0.7177, characteristic life was 429434 hours at normal user condition($30^{\circ}C$) by the analysis of weibull-arrhenius modeling. It made no difference about the statistics when equality test was executed. The activation energy was 0.2775eV. In analyzing between the failure samples of acceleration test and the samples of market return even though there is detail difference about the share of failure mode, the rank of share was almost same. This study suggest the test procedure of acceleration test of 2.5 inch HDD in PC using environment, and help the life estimation at manufacture and user.

This paper proposes the algorithm of servo- writing based on feedback error learning neural networks. The controller consists of feedback controller using PID and feedforward controller using gaussian radial basis function network. Because the RBFNs are trained by on-line rule, the controller has adaptation capability. The performance of the proposed controller is compared to that of conventional PID controller. Proposed algorithm shows better performance than PID controller.
