20090073594 | Disk drive device manufacturing method thereof, and method for specifying data track pitch for the disk drive device - Embodiments of the present invention help to increase the capacity and the reliability of a disk drive device to improve the manufacturing yield thereof. An embodiment of the present invention sets a data track pitch for each head slider (recording surface) in accordance with head characteristics. This method for specifying the data track pitch is based on the distance between erase band ends (EBEs) of the both adjacent data tracks. The erase band of a data track is a band defined as the area where the already written data are erased in writing the data track. The distance between the erase band ends of the both adjacent data tracks corresponds to the width SW of the area which is not erased by the adjacent data tracks. Specifying the data track pitch based on this leads to increase in the data capacity of each recording surface and secure prevention of occurrence of a squeeze error. | 03-19-2009 |

According to one embodiment, a test process performs a test on an HDD with respect to a plurality of items and stores one or a plurality of test results. Moreover, it determines the optimum specification category to which the HDD is to belong based on the stored test results. One factor of the specifications—storage capacity—has been determined before the test process or is determined during the test process. The test process classifies HDDs with the same storage capacity into different specification categories, and this classification may be performed in a single test process. This achieves efficient manufacture of HDDs with different specifications corresponding to the diversified usage of HDDs. | 05-21-2009 |
