ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention perform a stable data write operation at a low operating ambient temperature and promptly perform a write command process within a magnetic recording apparatus that employs a load/unload design. In one embodiment, write heads unloaded on a ramp are completely preheated before magnetic disks reach their rated rotation speed. This preheat operation takes time T1. After completion of write head preheating, the write heads are loaded from the ramp. This loading operation takes time T2. Since time T1and time T2do not sequentially elapse, it is possible to prevent a write operation from being rendered unstable by thermal protrusion while expediting a write command process.
