ABSTRACT:
Methods of controlling seeking of a transducer that is adjacent to a rotatable disk in a disk drive include determining a seek time associated with moving the transducer from an initial track on the rotatable disk to a target track on the rotatable disk, detecting a temperature associated with the disk drive, and determining if the detected temperature exceeds a temperature threshold. The methods may further include increasing the seek time to provide an increased seek time in response to the detected temperature exceeding the temperature threshold, generating a current command based on the increased seek time, and seeking the transducer from the initial track to the target track on the disk based on the current command. An apparatus configured to control the seeking of a transducer is also disclosed.
