Title: Method for controlling magnetic disk device
Inventor: KONISHI TOSHIYUKI
IPC: G11B21/08
Filed: 2002-06-05
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To guarantee data recorded in a magnetic disk device by preventing data destruction caused by thermal protrusion.  <P>SOLUTION: When a current is supplied to an MR head to execute reading/writing, the MR head is expanded. This expansion increases the probability of collision with a magnetic disk medium. Thus, the expansion amount of the MR head is calculated from three parameters: the size of the current flowing to the MR head, its time, and the expansion rate of the MR head itself. For each MR head, when the calculated expansion amount exceeds a set threshold, the MR head is not used, but another MR head not exceeding the threshold is used to execute a seeking operation. By using the time during the seeking operation, the MR head exceeding the threshold is contracted. After the seeking operation, switching is made to the contracted MR head to execute reading/writing.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
