Abstract

A hard disk drive (HDD) is described which includes a magnetic field-generating device in the vicinity of a load/unload ramp such that the write head moves into a magnetic field generated by the device while the head is being unloaded from disk, whereby the magnetic field pins in a predominant direction the direction of magnetization of a magnetic shield associated with the write head, and away from the direction toward the disk. Recording magnetic field leakage associated with the shield is thereby suppressed and corresponding far track interference is inhibited.
