    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining an occurrence of non-operation shock (NOS) in a disc drive are described. Such determining may be used to determine whether or not the disc drive should be recalibrated or compensated to account for changes induced by NOS. Determining NOS may be based at least in part on a harmonic of the spindle of the disc drive other than the first harmonic, such as a third harmonic of the spindle. In some embodiments, determining NOS may be based on the first harmonic of the spindle and at least one other harmonic of the spindle.

    Abstract: An anti-reflection storage medium. The anti-reflection storage medium includes a storage layer and a protective overcoat disposed over the storage later. The protective overcoat has a first refractive index value that is matched to a second refractive index value of the storage layer to reduce reflection of incident light applied to the storage medium when data is written to the storage layer of the storage medium.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method for managing a media cache through the monitoring of operational vibration of a data storage device. In some embodiments, a non-volatile media cache of the data storage device is partitioned into at least first and second zones having different data recording characteristics. Input data are received for storage in a non-volatile main memory of the data storage device. An amount of operational vibration associated with the data storage device is measured. The input data are stored in a selected one of the first or second zones of the media cache prior to transfer to the main memory responsive to a comparison of the measured amount of operational vibration to a predetermined operational vibration threshold.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for provisioning storage devices. An example method includes determining a write status of an adjacent track that is adjacent to a target track of a shingled magnetic recording (SMR) disk drive. The method may further include determining an offset for a write head based on the write status of the adjacent track and positioning the write head according to the offset.
