Technical Specifications

An important consideration when deploying servo writing processes is the ability to make strategic choices about the technology that is needed to support them effectively. One situation might need technology components to integrate with an existing installed base of servo writing systems. Another might be for servo writing systems, or perhaps a total solution.

In all these cases, Xyratex has the answer by providing a complete range of components, systems and solutions to choose from. In addition to a complete solution, this range currently includes:

• Optical Clock technology
• Servo writer software
• Pattern generator (and companion channel card)
• Motor driver & interlocks card
• Integrated card cage with power supply and single board computer
• Complete clamping, positioning and isolation system

Xyratex’s next generation servo writing architecture, Xtreme 400, offers a design capable of generating pattern frequencies up to 400Mbit/sec Fs (200MHz written) with Advanced Digital Phase Lock Loop (ADPLL) and verify logic for the ultimate in servo writing precision.
