3.0 Fixed-disk Subsystem Description
3.1 Control Electronics
The drive is electronically controlled by a microprocessor, logic modules, digital/analog modules and various drivers and
receivers. The control electronics perform the following major functions:
• Perform self-checkout (diagnostics)
• Conduct a power-up sequence and calibrate the servo.
• Monitor various timers for head settling, servo failure, etc.
• Analyze servo signals to provide closed-loop control. These include position error signal and estimated velocity.
• Control of the voice coil motor driver to align the actuator onto a desired position
• Monitor the actuator position and determine the target track for a seek operation.
• Constantly monitor error conditions of the servo and take corresponding action if an error occurs.
• Control starting, stopping, and rotating speed of the spindle.
• Control and interpretation of all interface signals between the host controller and the drive
• Control of read/write accessing of the disk media, including defect management and error recovery
3.2 Head Disk Assembly
The head/disk assembly (HDA) is assembled in a clean room environment and contains disks, a spindle motor, actuator assembly, and voice coil motor. Air is constantly circulated and filtered when the drive is operational. Venting of the HDA is accomplished via a breather filter.
The spindle is driven directly by a brushless, sensorless DC drive motor. Dynamic braking is used to stop the spindle quickly.
3.3 Actuator
The read/write heads are mounted in the actuator. The actuator is a swing-arm assembly driven by a voice coil motor. A
closed-loop positioning servo controls the movement of the actuator. An embedded servo data pattern supplies feedback to the
positioning servo to keep the read/write heads centered over the desired track.
The actuator assembly is balanced to allow vertical or horizontal mounting without adjustment.
Heads are moved out from the disks (unloaded) to protect the disk data during shipping, moving, or storage. At power down,
the heads are automatically unloaded from over the disk area and the head actuator locking mechanism will secure the heads in
the unload position.

4.5 Performance characteristics
Drive performance is characterized by the following parameters:
•Command overhead
•Mechanical head positioning
- Seek time
- Latency
•Data transfer speed
•Buffering operation (read ahead/write cache)
Note: All the above parameters contribute to drive performance. There are other parameters that contribute to the performance of the actual system. This specification tries to define the bare drive characteristics, not system throughput, which
depends on the system and the application.

“Typical” and “Max” are used throughout this document and are defined as follows:
Typical Average of the drive population tested at nominal environmental and voltage conditions.
Max Maximum value measured on any one drive over the full range of the environmental and voltage conditions.
(See 8.0, “Environment” on page 21and Section 9.0, “DC Power Requirements” on page 25 for ranges.)
The seek time is measured from the start of the actuator’s motion to the start of a reliable read or write operation. “Reliable
read or write” implies that error correction or recovery is not used to correct arrival problems. The average seek time is measured as the weighted average of all possible seek combinations.

The period from power off to the complete stop of the rotating spindle is categorized as ’operating’. The Operating shock criteria apply during this period. Refer to section Operating shock, page 37.
4.5.4 Data transfer speed
Table 12: Data transfer speed (sector size 512 Byte case)
Description
Disk-buffer transfer
Instantaneous 0 All 179.6 179.6
Measured typical values for sus-
tained disk - buffer transfer rate
Instantaneous 21 All 131.6 131.6
Measured typical values for sus-
tained disk - buffer transfer rate
Notes:
• Instantaneous disk-buffer transfer rate is derived by: (Number of sectors on a track) x 512 x (revolutions/sec)
• For this table, '1 MB / Sec' should be interpreted as 1,000,000 bytes per Second.
• The number of sectors per track varies in each zone (radius) as a result of constant linear density recording, See
Table 6: , “Cylinder allocation” on page 9.
• Sustained disk-buffer transfer rate is the average rate measured while transferring multiple cylinders of data. It differs from the instantaneous transfer rate because of the time required to change tracks (Track skew and Head skew).
In addition, time is added for the occasional missed track switch.
