METHOD FOR DETECTING TRANSIENT WRITE ERRORS IN A DISK DRIVE BY DETECTING THERMAL INTERFERENCE DURING WRITE PROCESS

摘要

In a magnetic disk drive the integrity of data written on a disk is ensured by writing data to a portion of the disk and, simultaneously detecting the presence and/or the frequency of TI events. If either is detected an error condition is generated. The error condition may be reporting the error to the host which decides whether to rewrite the data or immediately rewriting the data without further instructions from the host.
