ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for automatically determining an embedded runout correction threshold for a disk drive are disclosed. In prior systems, embedded runout correction thresholds were set for all disk drives in a production run. The present invention provides a technique for automatically determining an embedded runout correction threshold on a drive-by-drive basis, instead of a production run of drives basis.
