Non-Contact Probe Control and High-Speed Writing for Rotated-Disk-Type Ferroelectric Data Storage Devices

In this study, several read/write tests were conducted using novel type of ferroelectric data storage system, which was equipped with spindle motor, under the conditions relatively close to the actual operations. Firstly, high-speed data transfer was demonstrated regarding both reading and writing. Subsequently, the novel non-contact probe-height control technique was discussed.
