Apparatus and method to improve read/write speed of disk drive system
View Patent ↗A disk drive system and method for implementing the same. The disk drive system of the present invention includes a discoid medium which rotates about its rotation axis and stores data. An actuator includes a head for reading or writing data from or in the discoid medium as it bidirectionally rotates about its bidirectional-rotation axis. The disk drive system further includes a housing which has a predetermined width and houses the discoid medium and the actuator, wherein the rotation axis of the discoid medium and the bidirectional-rotation axis of the actuator are arranged at the center in the width direction of the housing, and wherein size of the discoid medium is smaller than that of a discoid medium corresponding to a form factor of the housing.
1. A disk drive system comprising:
a discoid medium which rotates about its rotation axis and stores data;
an actuator which has a head for reading or writing data from or in the discoid medium and bidirectionally rotates about its bidirectional-rotation axis; and
a housing which has a predetermined width and houses the discoid medium and the actuator, characterized in that the bidirectional-rotation axis of the actuator is set eccentrically in the rotational direction of the discoid medium from the width-directional center of the housing, and
the size of the discoid medium is smaller than that of a discoid medium corresponding to the form factor of the housing.
2. The disk drive system according to claim 1 , characterized in that the rotation axis of the discoid medium is set to the width-directional center of the housing.
