    Abstract: A data storage device may be configured with at least a transducing head separated from a data storage medium. The transducing head can have a data reader and data writer. A plurality of data bits may be arranged in first and second shingled data tracks on the data storage medium. The data writer can be configured with a writer centerline aligned with a track centerline of the first shingled data track and a data reader having a reader centerline skewed with respect to the track and writer centerlines.

    Abstract: A method involves determining a threshold error rate that will result on data stored on a magnetic disk surface of a disk drive being unrecoverable. The method also involves determining a seek velocity that will overwrite sufficient portions of the data such the data will exhibit at least the threshold error rate. The disk drive performs at least one traversal of the magnetic disk surface with a head of the disk drive that emits an erase field during the at least one traversal at the seek velocity. The at least one traversal sanitizes the data.

    Abstract: A magnetic recording medium includes a recording surface comprising a first recording layer having a first ferromagnetic resonant frequency and a second recording layer having a second ferromagnetic resonant frequency. The first recording layer is configured for storing user data and the second recording layer configured for storing servo data. A recording head arrangement is configured for microwave-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) and writing user data to the first recording layer. The recording head arrangement comprises a write pole configured to generate a write magnetic field, and a write-assist arrangement proximate the write pole. The write-assist arrangement is configured to generate a radiofrequency assist magnetic field at a frequency that corresponds to the first ferromagnetic resonant frequency. A reader of the recording head arrangement is configured to read combined signals from the first and second recording layers.

    Abstract: Apparatus and method for heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). In some embodiments, a write element has a magnetic write coil that writes a magnetic pattern to a recording layer of a data recording surface. A light delivery mechanism imparts heat in the form of electromagnetic energy to the data recording layer during operation of the write element. A radiation detector detects radiation power emitting from the recording layer responsive to the operation of the light delivery mechanism. A control circuit determines a direct temperature of the recording layer responsive to the detected radiation power, and as necessary, adjusts a power input to the light delivery mechanism responsive to the determined temperature. The radiation detector may be an infrared photodetector with a graphene-based detection layer. The photodetector may be disposed between a write pole and a return pole of the write element.

    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods disclosed herein relate to detecting a signal generated by a spin torque oscillator (STO). The signal is outputted, wherein the signal includes a direct current (DC) component, a wide bandwidth noise component, and an STO oscillating radio frequency (RF) component. The signal is filtered, wherein the filtering removes the DC component and the STO oscillating RF component, leaving the wide bandwidth noise component. A value of the wide bandwidth noise component is converted into a binary value, and a bit from the binary value is selected and combined with another bit to form a random number.
