Vibration cancellation for data storage

摘要

Methods and apparatus for vibration cancellation are disclosed. Vibration data from one or more vibration detectors associated with a storage device is collected. The vibration data represents vibrations experienced by the storage device. In response to the vibration data from the one or more vibration detectors, one or more movements for respective ones of one or more counter-vibration actuators to at least partially cancel of the vibrations experienced by the storage device is calculated. The one or more counter-vibration actuators perform the one or more movements.

主权项

1. A storage system, the storage system comprising:
one or more storage disks mounted within a housing of a storage device; one or more heads, mounted within the housing, for reading data from or writing data to respective ones of the one or more storage disks; one or more vibration detectors associated with the storage device, wherein at least one of the one or more vibration detectors comprises a microphone; one or more counter-vibration actuators associated with the storage device, wherein at least one of the one or more counter-vibration actuators comprises a sound emitting device; one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to
collect vibration data from the one or more vibration detectors, wherein the vibration data represents vibrations experienced by the storage device, and wherein at least some of the vibration data is collected from the microphone,in response the vibration data from the one or more vibration detectors, calculate one or more movements for respective ones of the one or more counter-vibration actuators to at least partially cancel of the vibrations experienced by the storage device, andcause the one or more counter-vibration actuators to perform the respective one or more movements including to cause the sound emitting device to emit sounds.
