Abstract
A data storage module for a data storage device has a rotor having a plurality of storage areas for data storage, the storage areas each being in one of a plurality of states to represent the data stored in that area. A first set of flexures suspends the rotor within a first frame and permits the rotor to move in a first direction. A first comb drive is connected to the rotor and the first frame for moving the rotor in the first direction. A second set of flexures suspends the first frame within a second frame and permits the first frame to move in a second direction normal to the first direction. A second comb drive is connected to the first frame and the second frame for moving the first frame in the second direction.
