20100157455TEST DEVICE FOR MAGNETIC STORAGE DEVICE, MAGNETIC STORAGE DEVICE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING MAGNETIC STORAGE DEVICE - According to one embodiment, a test device for a storage device includes: a module configured to acquire from the storage device a value corresponding to a signal level read from a magnetic disk through a magnetic head of the storage device, at a first timing at which an initial power of 0 or greater is supplied to a heater in the head and at a second timing at which a power to the heater is returned to the initial power after the power to the heater has been increased from the initial power, a periphery of a head element in the head has been expanded by the heater, and the element has been protruded toward a magnetic disk side; and a determiner configured to determine whether plastic deformation has occurred in the periphery of the element based on a difference between the values obtained at the first and second timings.06-24-2010
20110292532STORAGE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PROJECTION AMOUNT OF HEAD - According to one embodiment, a storage device includes a recording medium, a driving module, a head, a conductive body, a write-verify module, and a projection amount controller. A conductive body is mounted on the head, and changes a projection amount of the head by thermally expanding the head with heat from a current carried by the conductive body. The write-verify module executes a write-verify check to check whether content written in any location on the recording medium is correct when the driving module starts rotating the recording medium. The projection amount controller controls the projection amount of the head by adding a first value to a current in a steady state carried by the conductive body if the content is correct, and adding a second value with an absolute value greater than that of the first value to the current in the steady state if the content is not correct.12-01-2011
