    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for detecting shingled overwrite errors. When a read error is encountered when reading from shingled recording tracks, a processor may determine whether the read error is an error caused by shingled overwriting. The processor may determine whether the read error is caused by shingled overwriting by determining read signal quality of one or more sectors preceding the read error, such as based on a bit error count or bit error ratio (BER), and comparing the read signal quality to a threshold value. The processor may determine that the read error is caused by shingled overwriting when the read signal quality value is lower than the threshold.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and processes having a dependent write fault threshold are disclosed. A first sector may have a first write fault threshold and a second sector, adjacent to the first sector, may have a second write fault threshold, and the write fault thresholds can be variable based on a position error signal value of an adjacent sector. In some embodiments, the adjacent sectors may each be in an adjacent track. In other embodiments, the adjacent sectors may be in the same track. Further, a track may have two write fault thresholds, a positive direction threshold and a negative direction threshold; in some embodiments, only one direction's threshold may be variable based on the position error signal of the adjacent sector, while the opposite direction's threshold may be set to a default (e.g. pre-determined not on a sector by sector basis) value.

    Abstract: A data sector is read using two or more passes of a read head over a recording medium. Each of the passes corresponds to a different cross-track offset, each of the data sectors being divided into two or more blocks. For each of the blocks, data is selected from one of the passes that read the block with a higher quality than other passes that read the block. The selected data from each of the blocks to is combined to form recovered data of the data sector.

    Abstract: A slider generally comprises a substrate forming at least part of a body of the slider, a heat-assisted media recording (HAMR) read/write transducer proximate the substrate, and an end cap substantially encapsulating the HAMR read/write transducer. The end cap has a first surface proximate the substrate and a second surface as a trailing edge of the slider. The end cap has a first coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) similar to a corresponding CTE of the substrate. At least a portion of the second surface of the end cap has a second CTE that is lower than the first CTE. A body of the end cap is intermediate to the first and second surfaces of the end cap and has a CTE intermediate of the first and second CTE.

    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 device includes a servo controller that includes or that is coupled to memory. The memory stores multiple distinct disturbance control schemes. The servo controller is configured to select and implement one of the disturbance control schemes in response to receiving a command from a host. The servo controller can be implemented on a system on a chip.
