Systems and methods for managing adjacent track interference in a hard drive. An adjacent track interference potential is ascertained in a region of the hard drive, and data corruption is averted via scrubbing data in the region with ascertained adjacent track interference potential, wherein limits of this region are defined.

Preservation of hard drive data via dynamic band boundary definition

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for preventing operational shock to a hard disk drive of a mobile computer. An exemplary method includes, responsive to activation by a user of an activation device associated with the mobile computer, changing a state of the activation device. The exemplary method also includes, responsive to the change of state of the activation device, issuing a priority standby command to the hard disk drive.

Halt state for protection of hard disk drives in a mobile computing environment

Systems and methods for managing adjacent track interference in a hard drive. Adjacent track interference potential is ascertained in at least one track, and data corruption is averted via scrubbing data in at least one track with ascertained adjacent track interference potential.

Preservation of hard drive data via preliminary detection of adjacent track interference potential

Two male guides protrude up from a dock and the bottom of a portable computer is formed with parallel female channels configured to receive the guides in a drop-down docking configuration. Accordingly, a user can slide the portable computer side-to-side across the male guides until the guides are tactiley detected by the user to be in the channels. The user then slides the portable computer back until the computer connector drops into engagement with the dock connector.
