DRIVE LEVEL FLOW-FIELD CONDITIONING TO REDUCE FLOW FIELD TURBULENCE

摘要

The present invention relates to a flow control device 120 for a data storage system for reducing the vibration caused by the flow. A flow control device 120 includes a number of streamlined flow passage 122 to reduce the vortex in the flow along the surface of the disc. Thus, the air flow caused by the rotation of the data disk is directed through a plurality of streamlined flow passage 122 to reduce the turbulence, and this in order to limit the vibration of the head 108 and the suspension component.
