Abstract
To provide enhanced operation of data storage devices and systems, various systems, apparatuses, methods, and software are provided herein. In a first example, a hard disk drive is provided. The hard disk drive includes rotating storage media for storing data and read/write heads positioned over the storage media and configured to write the data to the storage media and read the data from the storage media. The hard disk drive includes a storage control system configured to identify acceleration characteristics associated with the read/write heads. The storage control system is configured to execute storage operations using the read/write heads when the acceleration characteristics indicate a power consumption for the hard disk drive outside a peak power consumption range, and cache the storage operations when the acceleration characteristics indicate the power consumption for the hard disk drive within the peak power consumption range.
