HDD Integration with RWA and WITE32

HDD integration connects an existing customer hard drive to the Guzik RWA using an interface board. It utilizes Guzik RWA to take full control of the Read/Write signals and enables the use of the WITE32 software package. The GSA6000 series digital read channel enables advanced digital tests such as digital Parametric, Spectral SNR, Jitter and Eye-diagram analysis, Media Scanning, and 3D media magnetization mapping. The GSA6000 can also be used as an oscilloscope to observe signals on unused channels in parallel with WITE32 measurements.
The comprehensive set of tests allows for easier failure detection. Once the failure is identified, and new screening test is developed, it can be immediately deployed to HGA production, which shares the common RWA platform and WITE32 test environment.Learn more...

Media Centering with Guzik Servo

Media Centering with Guzik Servo is an additional option for the Servo Improvement Package. This option allows for writing Guzik Servo on a blank media, writing one or more data tracks, taking the media off the spinstand, then placing it back on the same or a different spinstand, and reading the servo and data tracks back. This option can be useful for environmental studies. Instead of placing the spinstand into an environmental chamber, you can take the media off the spinstand and expose only the media itself to extreme temperatures, humidity, etc. Learn more...
