Abstract

Two or more data values are received from one or more sensors of a hard disk drive. The two or more data values are indicative of a fly height of a recording head of the hard disk drive. The two or more data values are input into a machine-learning processor during operation of the hard disk drive. A fly height of the recording head during the operation of the hard drive head is adjusted based on an output of the machine learning processor.
