Abstract
A disk drive comprising a head actuated over a disk, and control circuitry operable to spin the disk at a first spin rate. The control circuitry is further operable to reduce the spin rate of the disk from the first spin rate to a second spin rate, wherein the second spin rate is based on a spin-up parameter associated with spinning up the disk from the second spin rate to the first spin rate. For example, the spin-up parameter may comprise one or more of a spin-up time limit, power setting, and ambient temperature.
