Abstract

Contamination particles in a hard disk drive can cause serious problems including slider crash and thermal asperities. A recirculation filter is typically installed in the hard disk drive to remove the particles. Measurements and theoretical predictions of particle concentration decay with the filter are carried out for a commercially available HDD. Especially, the effect of disk rotational speed on the particle capture efficiency is investigated. Results show that filter efficiency is higher for higher disk rotational speed.
