Abstract
A storage device includes a storage controller that controls a writer to generate a magnetic field at an air-bearing surface (ABS) of a storage medium and to selectively alter a strength of the magnetic field by a predetermined amount when writing data to select data tracks on the storage medium.
Claims22
Apparatus comprising:
- a storage controller that controls a writer to generate a magnetic field at an air-bearing surface (ABS) of a storage medium and selectively alters a strength of the magnetic field incident on the ABS by a predetermined amount when writing data to a last data track in a data band of shingled magnetic data tracks on the storage medium.
(canceled)
Apparatus comprising:
- a storage device controller configured to increase fly height of a writer by a predetermined amount when writing data to select data tracks on a storage medium to decrease a written width of the select data tracks.
Apparatus comprising:
- a storage device controller that alters a write current parameter by a predetermined amount when writing data to a last data track in a data band of shingled magnetic data tracks on a storage medium to decrease a written width of the last data tracks.
