ABSTRACT:
Methods relating to compensating a pre-defined seek profile for use in a data storage device, such as a disc drive, to manage the internal temperature of the device are disclosed. One embodiment disclosed is related to determining a seek profile compensation value that can be used to compensate the pre-defined seek profile for temperature. Another embodiment is a method of using a seek profile compensation value during device operation to maintain the data storage device operating temperature below an operating temperature threshold. Yet another embodiment of the present invention may be thought of as a controller for a data storage device. The controller comprises a microprocessor having a pre-determined seek profile and a means for compensating the pre-determined seek profile based on a current operating temperature.
