`head-per-track disk drive \hed‘por—trak‘
`driv\ n. A disk drive that has one read/write head
`
`for every data track. Such a disk drive has a very
`low seek time because the heads do not have to
`move across the disk surface to the required track
`for reading and writing Because read/write heads
`are expensive, this type of drive is uncommon.
`head positioning \hed’ pa—zish‘a-néng\ n. The
`process of moving the read/write head of a disk
`drive to the proper track for reading and writing.
`head slot \hed‘ slot\

`head ““511 \hed’ krash\ n. A hard disk failure in
`which a read/write head, normally supported on a
`cushion of air only millionths of an inch thick,
`comes into contact with the platter, damaging the
`magnetic coating in which data is recorded. Still
`more damage occurs when the head picks up
`material gouged out of the surface and pushes it.
`A head crash can be caused by mechanical failure
`or by heavy shaking of the disk drive. If the crash
`occurs on a directory track, the whole disk may
`become instantly unreadable.

`ing, text that is to appear at the top of pages. A
