Rock Solid Mechanical Architecture

„

Dual actuator technology

A head positioning system with two
actuators that improves positional
accuracy over the data track(s). The
primary actuator provides coarse
displacement using conventional
electromagnetic actuator principles.
The secondary actuator uses a
piezoelectric motor to fine tune the
head positioning to a higher degree
of accuracy. (2 TB and 1.5 TB models
only)

„

StableTrac

™ — The motor shaft is

secured at both ends to reduce
system-induced vibration and
stabilize platters for accurate
tracking, during read and write
operations. (2 TB and 1.5 TB models
only)

„

NoTouch

™

ramp load technology

The recording head never touches
the disk media ensuring significantly
less wear to the recording head and
media, as well as better drive
protection in transit.
