Method and apparatus for selecting data densities on disk surfaces in a disk drive based upon measured thermal decay rates of the disk surfaces during self-test procedure

The present invention relates to magnetic storage devices and, more particularly, to computer disk drives. More specifically, the present invention relates to determining a data density at which to store data on a disk surface by measuring thermal decay rates for the disk surface for various data de...
