Fly Height Monitor Improves Hard Drive Reliability

Overview Western Digital's Fly Height Monitor protects write operations by detecting when a recording head is flying outside its normal operating range. If an unsafe fly height condition is encountered, the write process is stopped, and the information is rewritten or reallocated to a safe region of the hard drive. This constant monitoring process increases the reliability of write operations and reduces the probability of read errors.
