Abstract

A method for determining a write inhibit threshold value for at least one head of a file during the file manufacturing process is disclosed. The method includes qualifying a test track for use in the determining of the write inhibit threshold value. The method further includes performing a write inhibit threshold determination process to obtain the write inhibit threshold value and then storing the write inhibit threshold value for use with the at least one head of the file.
