Thermal Fly-Height Control (TFC) Technology in Hitachi Hard Disk Drives
Overview The ever increasing demand for higher capacity storage devices continues to challenge Hard Disk Drive (HDD) companies to find innovative solutions for fundamental magnetic recording technology issues. One such issue is how to effectively OverWrite (O/W) pre-existing data, which is critical for good Soft Error Rate (SER) performance, over a wide range of operating temperatures and read/write duty cycle conditions. Hitachi is introducing Thermal Fly-height Control (TFC) on the new Travelstar 5K160 mobile product family, which enables the direct control of the head read/write element protrusion using an integrated heating element in the head, leading to more consistent spacing between the read/write elements and the recording disk.
