Abstract:

The influence of organic compounds (OCs) on the head-disk interface (HDI) was investigated in hard disk drives. The drives were tested at high temperature to investigate the influence of gaseous OC and to confirm if the gaseous OC forms droplets on head or disk. In the experiment, errors occurred by readback signal jump and we observed the droplets on the disk after full stroke seek operation of the drive. Our results indicate that the gaseous OC condensed on the slider and caused flying instability resulting in drive failure due to slider contact with a droplet of liquid OC. Furthermore, this study shows that kinetic viscosity of OC is an important factor to cause drive failure using alkane reagents.

Abstract:

A statistical methodology is presented for predicting drive performance based on fundamental static friction (stiction) measurements. The technique allows the prediction of drive stiction and dynamic friction failures, based on component level spin-stand measurements. We discuss both the fundamental measurement of component stiction and the interpretation of the results as applied to an actual disk drive. The component measurements examine the effects of acceleration, filtering and sampling. It is shown that motor acceleration and the electronic configuration of the test stand affect the stiction measurement, but by proper electronic and mechanical designs this effect can be reduced to an insignificant quantity. The interpretation of component results considers incorporating the effect of multiple heads in a drive, and a statistical model is devised that accounts for both static and dynamic friction variation, along with motor/driver variations. One can predict the probability of a single drive failure or the failure rates of a population of drives, either new or after extensive field exposure. We show that a poorly characterized measurement compared to an arithmetic average of the available motor torque may predict drive failure rates in error by several orders of magnitude.

Abstract:

Current computer systems fill the demand of operating systems and applications for ever greater amounts of random access memory by paging the least recently used data to the hard disk drive. This paging process is called "virtual memory," to indicate that the hard disk drive is used to create the illusion that the computer has more random access memory than it actually has. Unfortunately, the fastest hard disk drives are over five orders of magnitude slower than the DRAM they are emulating. When the demand for memory increases to the point that processes are being continually saved to disk and then retrieved again, a process called "thrashing" occurs, and the performance of the entire computer system plummets. This thesis sought to find alternatives for home and small business computer users to the hard disk drive for virtual memory which would not suffer from the same long delays. Virtual memory is especially important for older computers, which often are limited by their motherboards, their processors and their power supplies to a relatively small amount of random access memory. Thus, this thesis was focused on improving the performance of older computers by replacing the hard disk drive with faster technologies for the virtual memory. Of the different technologies considered, flash memory was selected because of its low power requirements, its ready availability, its relatively low cost and its significantly faster random access times. Two devices were evaluated on a system with a 512MB of RAM, a Pentium 4 processor and a SATA hard disk drive. Theoretical models and a simulator were developed, and physical performance measurements were taken. Flash memory was not shown to be significantly faster than the hard disk drive in virtual memory applications.

Firms in the hard disk drive industry are continually engaging in R & D and improving the quality of their products. We explore various determinants of the product innovation incentives for firms concerned with both their static and expected future profitability. We estimate the observed innovation outcomes as a function of market condition variables which have significant impact on innovation decisions. In addition, we estimate logit utilities that describe the marginal willingness to pay for quality improvements. One aspect of utility is that the willingness to pay for faster access time to data may be initially low but increases over time. The firms' decisions to introduce faster access time are partly motivated by dynamic considerations.

Abstract:

Issues of wear and tribology are increasingly important in computer hard drives as slider flying heights are becoming lower and disk protective coatings thinner to minimise spacing loss and allow higher areal density. Friction, stiction and wear between the slider and disk in a hard drive were studied using Accelerated Friction Test (AFT) apparatus. Contact Start Stop (CSS) and constant speed drag tests were performed using commercial rigid disks and two different air bearing slider types. Friction and stiction were captured during testing by a set of strain gauges. System parameters were varied to investigate their effect on tribology at the head/disk interface. Chosen parameters were disk spinning velocity, slider fly height, temperature, humidity and intercycle pause. The effect of different disk texturing methods was also studied. Models were proposed to explain the influence of these parameters on tribology. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to study head and disk topography at various test stages and to provide physical parameters to verify the models. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to identify surface composition and determine if any chemical changes had occurred as a result of testing. The parameters most likely to influence the interface were identified for both CSS and drag testing. Neural Network modelling was used to substantiate results. Topographical AFM scans of disk and slider were exported numerically to file and explored extensively. Techniques were developed which improved line and area analysis. A method for detecting surface contacts was also deduced, results supported and explained observed AFT behaviour. Finally surfaces were computer generated to simulate real disk scans, this allowed contact analysis of many types of surface to be performed. Conclusions were drawn about what disk characteristics most affected contacts and hence friction, stiction and wear.

Abstract:

The thesis aims at verification of using emerging Solid-State drives in disk arrays. The advent of SSD disks caused a small revolution in area of data storage, because the growth performance of hard drives has been slow compared to other PC components. But an entirely different principle of operation could mean compatibility problems between SSD and related technologies, such as RAID. This thesis aims at analyzing all the relevant technologies, mainly HDD, SSD and RAID. To achieve this objective, information from literature, articles and other appropriate sources will be used. Other objectives of this thesis are to determine how much are the SSDs suitable for use in the disk array, because low performance RAID controllers or different principles of operation could limit their efficiency. This question should be answered by submission of selected types of storage arrays to synthetic and practical tests of performance. The final goal is to use financial analysis of the test solutions as a shared file storage. Today, remote access to data is used by a wide range of job positions. Slow storage could mean inefficient use of working time and therefore unnecessary financial costs. The goal of my work is primarily to provide answers to the questions mentioned above. Currently it is very hard to find tests of more complex forms of disk arrays based on solid-state drives. This article can be also very useful for companies where fileservers are used to share user data. Based on the result of cost analysis, the company can then decide what type of storage is best for its purpose.

(cont.) portable consumer electronics, such as PDAs, cell phones, music players, digital cameras, etc. make a relatively modest but fast growing market for ultrahigh areal density HAMR-based HDDs. HAMR-based HDD for portable applications could very well be a disruptive technology in the magnetic recording industry. Companies that intend to profit from this technology need to invest on its development and must try to be first-to-volume production to benefit from economies of scale and to build the necessary expertise that could give them leadership roles in future magnetic recording.
The magnetic recording industry keeps up with the demand of high capacity hard disk drives by improving the areal recording density of these devices. The use of conventional longitudinally magnetized media will be truncated by the challenges it faces nowadays, which are related to the instability of the stored information, produced by the aggressive decrease in the volume of the grains in the media. To overcome this problem, the use of large magnetic anisotropy energy density alloys is necessary, but the write fields that are required by such alloys can be prohibitively large, rendering these media effectively unwritable. Fortunately, the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy density decreases with increasing temperature and so does the required write field. Heat assisted magnetic recording allows the use of such magnetically hard alloys by using both a magnetic and a thermal field during the writing process. Research in HAMR is centered in three major fields: the heat delivery system, the magnetic recording media and the heat dissipation technology. Based on an analysis of several US patents related to HAMR, one can see the real value of such patents is in negotiating and cross-licensing between companies to guarantee the right to participate in the manufacture of HDDs. Trade secrets and know-how are valuable assets for corporations. However, information exchange exists due to the great mobility of highly trained personnel between competing companies. Because the basic application of HAMR is in supplying the computer industry with affordable storage devices, there is a well established market that makes the research efforts in HAMR advisable for individuals, universities and companies. Besides that traditional market,

Abstract:

To meet market demand for the high data density on the disk of a hard disk drive (HDD), reduction of disturbance causing track misregistration is needed. The main disturbance in HDDs in a server or a desktop PC is flow-induced vibrations caused by airflow due to the disk rotation. Generally, there are two kind of flow-induced vibration (FIV) of the structures inside a HDD. One is in-plane or out of plane vibration of the read/write component, i.e., the carriage. Another is out of plane vibration of the disk. In these experiments, we tried to reduce out of plane vibration of the disk and the carriage by making a simple structural change. The investigation is carried out to clear up a cause of FIV of the carriage. The result showed that the outflow from the disk region is strong and can be the cause of the out of plane vibration of both the disk and carriage. To counteract this fluid force, the plates were put against the disks to prevent wind disturbance. As a result, the flow-induced vibrations of the carriage and the disks were significantly reduced. Based on our results, we designed an anti-FIV structure.

Abstract:

Reduction of head-media spacing (HMS) keeps crucial during the increase of areal density of hard disk drives (HDD). The design of hard disk drive with a superlubric interface is reported with two schemes for HDI design to realize superlubricity. For the first scheme, the DLC layer is kept on the disk while removing the lubricant layer. The DLC layer on the transducer is replaced by graphene-like layer. The direct contact between head and disk could reduce the HMS to about 2.3 nm. For the second scheme, the DLC layer on disk is further replaced by graphene and the HMS could be reduced to below 1 nm. For the first scheme, the basic proof of concept experiments are conducted using micro-scale graphite island samples. Ultralow COF, with the average of 0.0344 on the interface of single crystalline graphite surface and DLC substrate is demonstrated by AFM. What’s more, the temperature dependence of friction between single crystalline graphite and DLC is measured by micro-force sensor mounted on micro-manipulator. The results show that heating helps to significantly decrease the friction. Desorption of contaminants along the interface is speculated to be the key mechanism for temperature dependence of friction. This work provides the concept of large-scale superlubricity relevant in HDD applications, which could be a promising technology to ultimately reduce HMS for future HDI development.

Abstract:

In this paper, system level analysis is carried out for a functional HDD with two disks and four sliders operating at spindle speed of 15000 rpm. Full numerical models both for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis and structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are developed. The flow induced vibrations of the sliders in all three directions, namely, off-track (X), down-track (Y) and out-of-plane direction (Z) are examined respectively. The numerical simulation results are compared and validated with the experimental results measured with a 3D laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). Good agreements are observed for the vibrations in the three directions. The airflow patterns and characteristics of the flow induced vibration in HDD for three critical positions of the head gimbal assembly (HGA) parked at the disks identified as ID, MD and OD are investigated. The results reveal that the first slider from top has the highest flow induced vibrations in all the three directions due to the higher turbulent flow close to the top disk surface. Moreover, the results indicate that the slider vibration is interacted with the disk flutter in the HDD. Optimal designs of the HDD disk and air shroud are carried out to reduce the flow induced vibration of the slider, by suppressing the disk flutter and improving the turbulent flow in the HDD. It is demonstrated that significant reduction of flow induced slider vibration could be achieved with the optimal designs of the HDD.

Abstract:

Heat transfer issue has become a challenging task in designing a high power density data center. As power consumption (Watts) of the data center continues to increase, effective thermal management of computing clusters, servers and data storage systems in data center will become more and more demanding. Hard disk drive (HDD) as a key power consumption device in high-end data storage system, its heat transfer issue has attracted more research attentions due to its complexity in nature of enclosure air flow driven by spinning disks. Among various thermal management solutions, one promising approach is to enclose helium rather than air in the hermetically-sealed hard disk drive as to reduce windage loss and flow disturbance. This paper investigates the thermal performances of disk drives where their enclosures have been filled up with helium and various helium-air gas mixtures using FEM simulations and experimental validations. Windage loss and heat convection of the disk drives being filled up with helium or helium-air mixtures are compared and analysed. The results show that helium-filled HDD provides heat transfer enhancement capability than the air-filled HDD by achieving up to 41% reduction of average temperature rise. Furthermore, 40% reduction of magnetic transducer position error signals (PES) was experimentally observed in helium filled HDD. Enhancing heat transfer and better PES quality via helium gas will greatly improve HDD read/write reliability and increase track density capability for data storage systems in data center.
