Implementing surface analysis test (SAT) function for microwave-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) HDD with embedded contact sensor (ECS) and spin torque oscillator (STO) signals |
摘要 |
A method, apparatus, and system are provided for implementing enhanced surface analysis test (SAT) function for microwave assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) hard disk drives (HDDs) using embedded contact sensor (ECS) and spin-torque oscillator (STO) signals. A preamplifier circuit receives the embedded contact sensor (ECS) and spin-torque oscillator (STO) signals and compares the received ECS and STO signals to identify magnetic disk media defects including bumps or thermal-asperity (TA) defects and pits or hole defects. |

1. A method for implementing enhanced surface analysis test (SAT) function for microwave assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) hard disk drives (HDDs) comprising:
providing an embedded contact sensor (ECS) and a spin-torque oscillator (STO) sensor; simultaneously measuring an ECS signal and a STO signal in a single scan of a disk surface; and comparing the measured ECS and STO signals to identify magnetic disk media defects including thermal-asperity (TA) defects and hole defects. |
