What the Drive is Composed Of
The drive is composed of mechanical, electrical, and firmware elements.
Mechanical Design Features
The drive’s hardware includes the components described in the following
sections. Figure 1-1 shows some of these components.
Drive Assembly Housing
The drive assembly housing consists of an extruded aluminum base on which is
mounted a drawn aluminum cover. In addition, the aluminum cover has a
designed in breather filter and diffusion tube that prevents entry of
contaminants which might degrade head and media reliability. Aluminum tape
seals the joint between the base and cover. Critical drive components are
contained within this contaminant-free environment, which is commonly
referred to as the Head-Disk Assembly (HDA).
Drive Motor and Spindle
A brushless DC direct-drive motor assembly is mounted on the drive’s base. The
motor rotates the drive’s spindle at 3400 RPM. The motor/spindle assembly is
dynamically balanced to provide minimal mechanical runout to the disks. A
dynamic brake is used to provide a fast stop to the spindle motor and return the
heads to the landing zone when power is removed.
Head Positioning Mechanism
The read/write heads are supported by a mechanism coupled to a rotary voice
coil actuator.
