Abstract

See full text

A method for improving disk drive performance by adaptively calculating skew values for each drive. During a production phase of the disk drive manufacturing process, skew values are calculated using measured seek times, then implemented to each drive. The calculation scheme permits slipped revolutions to occur during a percentage of the time so that skew values are not so high as to hinder high performance.
