Abstract
Described are hard disk drives (HDDs) operable for archival applications and utilizing the same mechanical and electrical design of conventional HDDs. The capacity of a conventional HDD may be extended by up to 25% to 40% or more by employing multiple write and/or read spins before declaring success in write and read processes. The multiple write and/or read spins are designed to address the lower reliability that would otherwise result from high density packing of the data, at the cost of reducing performance. The result is an HDD with lower performance at higher capacity without sacrificing reliability and without altering conventional HDD mechanical or electrical design.
