Abstract
A hard disk drive (HDD) consists of many components, including a magnetic recording disk 103, a base deck 102, and a cover 101 (Fig 1). In some embodiments, cover 101 with a form-in place-gasket (FIPG) 104 and a base deck 102 are arranged to provide a sealed HDD. A final welding process on the final cover 100 then hermetically seals the drive. The magnetic recording disk 103 is supported for rotation within the housing, and a data transducer is controlled to glide across the magnetic surface of the disk. Together with incorporated electronic linked to a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) affixed to an external surface base deck, data is then written to and read from the magnetic surface. The magnetic disk 103 currently has a total of ten components stacked within the 3.5” form factor housing. This paper presents a new product design concept that allows an increase in the magnetic recording disk 103 areal density by maximizing the magnetic recording disk surface area
