Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for determining a material type of storage media substrates. The method includes using a first sensor to detect an object that indicates the presence of at least one storage media substrate, and using an inductive sensor to determine whether the at least one storage media substrate is of a metallic type.
Claims21
A method for determining a material type of at least one storage media substrate, the method comprising:
- using a first sensor, detecting an object that indicates the presence of the at least one storage media substrate;
- and
- using an inductive sensor, determining whether the at least one storage media substrate is of a metallic type.
A system, comprising:
- a controller comprising a processor and that, when in operation, determines a material type of at least one storage media substrate;
- a first sensor coupled to the controller for detecting an object that indicates the presence of the at least one storage media substrate;
- and
- an inductive sensor coupled to the controller for determining whether the at least one storage media substrate is of a metallic type.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing a program which, when executed, performs an operation for determining a material type of at least one storage media substrate, the operation comprising:
- using a first sensor, detecting an object that indicates the presence of at the at least one storage media substrate;
- and
- using an inductive sensor, determining whether the at least one storage media substrate is of a metallic type.
