摘要： Hard disk drive housing including at least one inlet, at least one outlet. The inlet is situated near spindle and above disk in hard disk drive. The outlet is situated near outside diameter of disk. When disk rotates, air pressure near the inlet is lower than air pressure near the outlet, causing a flow of air through the hard disk drive from the inlet to the outlet, tending to cool the hard disk drive. The inlet may include inlet filter. Outlet may include outlet filter. Manufacturing the housing by providing the inlet and the outlet. The disk cover as manufacturing product. Operating the hard disk drive containing the housing. The hard disk drive containing the housing, and manufacturing the hard disk drive. The hard disk drive as manufacturing product. A system containing at least one of the hard disk drives. Manufacturing the system, and the system as a manufacturing product.

摘要： Determining a contact condition between read-write head and accessed disk surface inside hard disk drive, where micro-actuator assembly mechanically couples to slider and electrically interacts through signal path. Signal path sensed, creating sensed feedback signal, used to determine contact condition, which indicates when read-write head is, or is not, in contact with accessed disk surface. Means for implementing this process. Contact condition is product of process. The process may respond to contact condition, altering read-write head flying height. Process may be implemented as operations of embedded control system and/or servo controller. Method of predictive failure analysis using the contact condition to estimate performance parameter and create performance degradation warning. Manufacture process collecting contact condition to partly create reliability estimate of the hard disk drive, which may be form of Mean Time to Failure. Manufacturing may further include screening the hard disk drive based upon the reliability estimate.

摘要： A sealed Hard Disk Drive filled with an inert gas mixture of air, helium, and/or nitrogen provides a wireless data encrypted interface to facilitate data and control transfer with a host system. The wireless interface additionally allows power transfer through Radio Frequency (RF) propagation or electromagnetic induction. Extended measures for vibration, shock, and temperature control are made possible through the use of the wireless interface. Immersion of the HDD into a viscous gel, or other damping material, provides vibration and shock control, while heating/cooling coils provide temperature control.

摘要： A method of thermally bonding lubricant over a surface of a magnetic disk in a disk drive involves providing a heat source at an air bearing surface (ABS) of a magnetic head; causing the heat source to be energized to produce heat; and causing the magnetic head to be moved across a surface portion of a magnetic disk so that lubricant is thermally bonded over the surface portion from the heat produced by the heat source. Preferably, this lubricant bonding mode of operation is performed on a regular or periodic basis. Alternatively, the mode is activated based on a predetermined environmental condition (e.g. temperature or humidity) or from an external signal. In one example, the heat source is comprised of first and/or second pole pieces of the magnetic head through which an electrical current is passed. In another example, the heat source is comprised of a separate heating element which is formed on or within the magnetic head (which may be the same heating element utilized for thermal-assist writing to the magnetic disk). In yet another example, heat for thermally bonding lubricant is generated by reading data from a data block on the magnetic disk and writing the data back to the data block in a repetitive fashion.

摘要： A hard disk drive (HDD) capable of controlling its own internal temperature during testing. A test program embedded in the HDD is run only within a pre-determined optimal test temperature range. The internal temperature of the HDD is kept within this pre-determined test temperature range by switching HDD operation modes back and forth between a higher heat generating Rapid Seek Mode and a lower heat generating IDLE mode. The HDD is thus kept within the optimal test temperature range without the use of external heating and/or cooling devices.
