Abstract
New drive technologies and increased capacities create new categories of failure modes that will influence system designs.

Hard Disk Drives: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly!: HDDs are like the bread in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
File Systems and StorageHDDs are like the bread in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich—sort of an unexciting piece of hardware necessary to hold the “software.” They are simply a means to an end. HDD reliability, however, has always been a significant weak link, perhaps the ...
Reduction of torque ripple and mechanical vibration of spindle motors in hard-disk drives using a sinusoidal driver
Mechanical vibration and acoustic noise are major obstacles in the development of high-density and high-spindle-speed hard disk drives. Torque ripple caused by the electrical driver is the main source of vibration and noise. This paper proposes a novel ...
An advanced guide feeding system for optical disc drives
The rotational speed of some optical disc drives (ODDs) has recently exceeded 15,000 rpm due to demand for high data-transfer rates. At these high speeds, the guide feeding system must maintain control over the optical pickup under hard acceleration and ...
