Abstract
Various illustrative aspects are directed to a data storage device, comprising one or more disks; a head, configured to be positioned proximate to a disk surface among the one or more disks; a temperature sensor; and one or more processing devices. The one or more processing devices are configured to: detect, via the temperature sensor, a non-nominal heat dissipation of a portion of the head; and, in response to detecting the non-nominal heat dissipation of the portion of the head, mitigate the non-nominal heat dissipation of the portion of the head.
