Claim 0:
1. A data storage device comprising:
a base-deck;
at least one data storage disc located above the base-deck;
a shaft having an end coupled to the base-deck, the shaft extending perpendicular from the base-deck;
a head stack assembly (HSA) comprising at least one head gimbal assembly (HGA) having a first load beam and a first head positioned at a first end of the HSA and configured to interact with a first surface of the at least one data storage disc, the HSA further comprising a second end that is movably mounted on the shaft;
a first sensor on the HSA configured to detect close proximity or contact between a lift tab of the HGA and an end of a ramp of the data storage device and responsively provide a first feedback signal; and

an elevator configured to linearly move the HSA along the shaft to adjust a distance between the first load beam and the first surface of the at least one data storage disc in response to receiving the first feedback signal.
