Abstract
A hard disk drive includes a first actuator and a second actuator. The first actuator is coupled to a first slider, which includes a first read transducer and a first write transducer. Both the first read transducer and the first write transducer are positioned away from a first longitudinal centerline of the first slider. The second actuator is coupled to a second slider, which includes a second read transducer and a second write transducer. Both the second read transducer and the second write transducer are positioned away from a second longitudinal centerline of the second slider.
Claims15
A hard disk drive comprising:
- a magnetic recording medium having an inner diameter and an outer diameter;
- a first actuator coupled to a first slider, the first slider including a first read transducer and a first write transducer with both the first read transducer and the first write transducer positioned away from a first longitudinal centerline of the first slider towards the inner diameter of the magnetic recording medium, the first write transducer is the only write transducer on the first slider;
- and
- a second actuator coupled to a second slider, the second slider including a second read transducer and a second write transducer with both the second read transducer and the second write transducer positioned away from a second longitudinal centerline of the second slider towards the outer diameter of the magnetic recording medium, the second write transducer is the only write transducer on the second slider.
