Abstract
A method of manufacturing disk drives that are subject to disk pack imbalance includes steps of measuring the disk pack imbalance of each drive and assigning each of the drives to one of a predetermined plurality of categories, depending upon the measured disk pack imbalance. The measured imbalance of the disk drives assigned to fewer than the predetermined plurality of categories may then be reduced. Each category may be associated with one or more customers and the drives assigned to each category may be shipped to the associated customer(s).
