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.

평면 실리콘 헤드를 사용한 디스크 드라이브(hard disk:HDD) 시스템의 average bit error rate(ABER)를 계산하였다. ABER을 구하기 위해 3차원 유한 요소법을 사용하여 헤드 자장 분포를 구하고 error rate response surface(ERRS)를 구하엿다. 다음에 track misregistration(TMR)과 계산되어진 ERRS를 컨볼루션하여 ABER을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 허용할 수 잇는 에러 율이 10-6이라 하고 트랙 피치가 3.7$\mu$m일 때, 요구되는 TMR은 0.36$\mu$m이었다. 이는 트랙 피치의 9.7이었다.

In high-capacity disk drives with ever-growing track density, the allowable level of position error signal (PES) is becoming smaller and smaller. A substantial portion of the PES is caused by disk vibration. This can be reduced by using a head gimbal assemblies (HGAs) that do not confine the slider movement to the vertical direction to disks, but allow movement to the radial direction of disks with respect to disk vibration. Several types of HGAs are proposed for such radial motion of the slider. Experimental results show that the PES levels are reduced by the proposed HGA-design concepts.

This paper investigates the effects of disk thickness and Pemto slider on PES(position error signal) for high TPI(track per inch) drives above 150kTPI at early stage of their development. In order to reduce the disk flutter which becomes a dominant contributor to the TMR, the thicker disks with both 63 and 69mi1 have been used. Also, PES of a Pemto slider with thinner thickness than Pico slider has been estimated to decrease the conversion factor of disk motion in axial direction to head off-track motion. A frequency-domain PES estimation and prediction tool has been developed via measurement of disk flutter and HSA(head stack assembly) forced vibration. It has been validated by the measured PES in drive level. Based on the model and measurement of disk flutter, PES of a drive with the thicker disk and Pemto slider is predicted and their impact is investigated.

As functional requirement of massive digital information storage devices are on a trend for the higher data transfer rate and lower cost, many different technical efforts are being tested and implemented in the industry. FDB(fluid dynamic bearing) is one of the major breakthroughs in rotor design in terms of TMR(track misregistration) budget. Although FDB analysis based on Reynolds' equation is well established and popularly being used for FDB design especially for the estimation of bearing stiffness, there are obvious limitations in the approach due to the inherent assumptions. A generalized analysis tool employing the full Navier-Stokes equation and the energy balance is to be beneficial for detailed FDB design. In this publication, an efficient geometry modeling method is presented that provides fully integrated inputs for general FVM/FDM(finite volume method/ finite difference method) codes. By virtue of the flexibility of the presented method, many different detailed FDB design and analysis are carried over with ease.
