Abstract	Achieving ultra-high magnetic-recording density in hard disk drives (HDDs) requires clarification of flow-induced vibration issues. In particular, it is necessary to reduce the flow-induced disk vibration called disk flutter. Thus far, however, there has been no experimental research related to disk flutter in actual HDDs. For this study, therefore, the disk-flutter issues have been studied experimentally, using an actual 2.5-in. HDD with one disk and two magnetic heads. The aim was to study the effect of operating magnetic-head mechanisms on flow-induced disk flutter. This study evaluated disk flutter as well as static pressure distribution in the actual HDD, by taking measurements while changing the operating modes of the magnetic-head mechanism as well as the number of operating air-bearing sliders. The study demonstrated that the disk-flutter amplitude increases and its frequency decreases when the magnetic-head mechanisms are operating. It was also found that the amount of decrease in the disk-flutter frequency depends on the number of operating air-bearing sliders whose amplitude increase varies with the specific operating mode of the head mechanisms, such as whether it is in track-following or seek modes. In addition, operation of the magnetic-head mechanisms generated non-uniform static pressure distribution within the HDD. These factors suggest that a decrease in disk-flutter frequency results from the slider-coupled vibration and an increase in disk-flutter amplitude results from the static pressure changes as well as air-following changes, as these vary with the actual operation of the disk head mechanism. From these experimental results, it appears that the disk-flutter issues in actual HDDs should be considered as a system that includes the operation of the magnetic-head mechanisms and disk-coupled vibration.
