A write driver for driving a transducer in a storage system. The write driver includes first and second supply terminals and a H-switch for switching current flow through the transducer between a first direction and a second direction, opposite to the first direction. The H-switch includes pull-up transistors and pull-down transistors connected across the transducer for switching current flow through the transducer. Each pull-up transistor and pull-down transistor has a control terminal for controlling current flow through the transistor. The write driver further includes data input terminals for receiving data signals. A bias circuit is connected between the control terminals of the pull-up and pull-down transistors and the data input terminals for switching the pull-up and pull-down transistors between conducting and non-conducting states as a function of the received data signals. Each pull-down transistor has a corresponding synchronizing transistor connected between the control terminal of the pull-down transistor and the second supply terminal, which pulls current away from the control terminal of the pull-down transistor when the pull-down transistor is switched to the non-conducting state.
