Abstract :
Hard disk drive (HDD) is often subjected to transient temperature during frequent seeking or due to the change of environmental conditions that causes HDD reliability problems. This paper presents a three dimensional (3D) finite element modelling technique that can be used to predict the transient temperatures of the HDD when it subjected to transient temperature during frequent seeking or due to the change of environmental conditions.
