Abstract
A corrosion detection system for a data storage device includes an exposed metal loop provided on a PCB of the data storage device. The corrosion detection system periodically measures an inductance of the exposed metal loop and compares the measured inductance to a reference inductance. If a difference between the measured inductance and the reference inductance exceeds a threshold, the corrosion detection system determines the data storage device is exposed to a corrosion risk and notifies a host device.
