Bias calculation, bias compensation, and bias table editing methods for HDD, recording media storing computer programs for executing the same, and HDD using the same

摘要

In a hard disk drive (HDD), biases are measured across all zones of a disk, and nonlinear bias components are extracted. Upon a change in operational condition of the HDD, biases are measured at two reference positions on the disk so as to estimate a corresponding change in a linear bias component across all zones of the disk. The bias at a given position of the disk is then calculated based on the estimated linear bias component and the extracted nonlinear bias component.
