This research investigates the characteristicsw of NRRO in a 2.5" HDD by using FEM, modal testing and runout analysis, and reduces NRRO using visco-elastic damping material. Most frequency components of NRRO are generated by the defects of ball and rotating race, and they can be determined by the kinematic analysis of ball bearing. It also proposes the novel design of a spindle motor that can reduce NRRO effectively by inserting the visco-elastic damping material to one of the transmission path of NRRO, i.e., where the strain energy is highly concentrate. By this technique, NRRO is reduced by 27%. 27%.

This research investigates to analyze the effect of laser of thermally assisted magnetic recording system on diamond like carbon (DLC) layer of slider. We investigated a damaged DLC layer of slider with laser spot-induced damage and analyze the effect of the damaged DLC layer in slider dynamics. The damaged DLC layer resulted in change of flying height and air bearing stiffness pressure.

Nowadays, mobility as well as basic performances has been the important performance index of hard disk drive, It makes a system unstable to satisfy mobility, huge storage capacity and high transfer rate. Shock and vibration analysis has been important because hard disk drive could be exposed by external shock and vibration. The probability of this situation has been increasing. In this research, each component and the whole system of 2.5in HDD are made to a finite element model. Results of finite element analysis are compared with the results of experimental modal analysis. Shock analysis is executed for 2.5in hard disk drive.

We have achieved a high aspect ratio track-following microactuator (TFMA) which is capable of driving 0.3 ${\mu}m$ magnetic head for hard disk drive (HDD). it was fabricated on silicon on insulator (SOI) wafer with 20 ${\mu}m$ trick active silicon and 2 ${\mu}m$ thick thermally grown oxide and piggyback electrostatic principle was used for driving TFMA. The first vibration mode frequency of TFMA was 18.5 kHz which is enough for a recording density of higher than 10 Gb/in$^2$. Its displacement was 1.4 ${\mu}m$ when 15 V dc bias plus 15 V ac sinusoidal driving input was applied and its electrostatic force was 50 N. The fabricated actuator shows 7.51 dB of gain margin and 50.98$^{\circ}$ of phase margin for 2.21 kHz servo-bandwidth.

Particles existing in a hard disk drive are known as a major source of TA(thermal asperity). Researchers have investigated how particles induce the TA phenomena, but have not verified yet the reason why and how particles are generated in a HDD. The objective of this study is to investigate why and how particles are generated, and in what condition, the largest number of particles is generated. The number of particles generated in a HDD was measured over the landing zone after various rest times of slider and during various motions and positions of slider. It is found that the large number of particles was generated when the HDD was turned on after a long rest time of slider and that a few of particles were continuously generated when the slider flied over the disk surface. It is thought that the number of particles generated in a HDD was related to the rest time of slider because the rest time of slider increased stiction, and that there were intermittent contacts between the slider and the disk surface when the slider flied over the disk surface.

The durability of head/disk interface is an important issue for hard disk drives. Currently, there are several means of assessing the performance and integrity of the head/disk interface. In this work Track Average Amplitude(TAA) signal was used to analyzed the head/disk interface with respect to variations in disk velocity, slider pre-load and preformed scratch on the disk. Particularly, TAA variation due to disk defect in the form of a scratch was investigated.

Temperature distributions in a 3.5 inch hard disk drive including disk surface and internal air have been simulated numerically. Solutions were obtained from fifteen cases regarding three power consumption rates and five ambient conditions. As a result, the velocity of cooling air should be maintained greater than ㏐/s when the power consumption reached 3W in the disk drive. A correlation equation was proposed to predict the temperature field of disk surface and caseing surface.

디스크마다 일정영역을 할당하여 위치정보를 기록하는 임베디드 서보방식 하드디스크는 데이터가 저장되는 데이터 영역사이에서 스핀들 런아웃, 공진과 디스크 플러터 등에 의하여 Gaussian 분포를 가지는 트랙에서 벗어나는 오차를 가지게 된다. 더높은 저장밀도와 빠른 기록속도를 요구함에 따라서 디스크의 회전속도가 올라감에 의한 디스크 면진동에 의한 헤드 위치오차가 중요하게 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 헤드위치 오차량을 계산하기 위하여 고속탐색이 가능한 수정된 Barasch의 수치해석법, 유한요소법, 그리고 실험을 통하여 적용가능성을 확인하였으며 같은 드라이브내에서 디스크의 사이즈를 바꿈에 의한 디스크 동특성의 해석과 변환율을 이용하여 오류가 발생할 수 있는 트랙 벗어남과 저장밀도의 상관관계를 살펴보았다.
