Abstract
Technologies are described herein for adaptive write pole tip protrusion compensation in a storage device having magnetic recording media. Variations in temperature of a head of a storage device are measured for various combinations of values of write-channel parameters during multiple test writes to the recording media. Sensitivity of the head temperature to change in value of the write-channel parameters is determined from the temperature measurements. A ratio of change in write pole tip protrusion of the head to change in head temperature is also determined. From the sensitivity of the head temperature to change in value of the write-channel parameters and the ratio of change in write pole tip protrusion of the head to change in head temperature, a coefficient corresponding to each write-channel parameter is calculated for the head to be utilized in a write pole tip protrusion compensation mechanism of the storage device.
