Abstract
A data storage device may be configured with a transducing head separated from a data storage medium by an air bearing. The transducing head and data storage medium are each contained within a housing. The transducing head can consist of a variable resistance sensor that is connected to a temperature module positioned within the housing. One or more operational variables can be measured by the variable resistance sensor to allow an ambient temperature within the housing to be calculated based on a measured operational variable.
