TDSDDM1 Disk Drive Measurement Application User Manual

Overwrite

The overwrite measurement determines the amount of residual signal remaining
from a previous write after new data is written to the same location. The strength
of the residual signal depends on the coercivity of the media, write current
amplitude, and saturation characteristics of the head.

Figure 3–21: Overwrite measurement

The Overwrite measurement is defined as follows:
