Continue..• The third one is the aerodynamic gap- winchester• The head must generate or sense an electromagneticfield of sufficient magnitude to write/read properly.• Winchester heads are used in sealed drive – free ofcontamination – able to reduce the risk of error• They are designed to operate closer to the disk’ssurface than conventional rigid disk heads allowinggreater data density.• The head is an aerodynamic foil that rests lightly onthe platter’s surface when the disk is motionless.

Disk performance parameters• The actual details of disk I/O operation dependon computer system, the OS and the nature ofthe I/O channel and disk controller hardware.• Fig. 6.7 – show general timing of disk I/Otransfer.
