Given today's disk technology this is not really a big surprise. One way to increase the speed of a head positioning servo is to make it open loop for at least part of its bandwidth, relying on controlled forces and inertia to control fast movement rather than on position feedback. Any such system would be quite sensitive to vibration in the frequency range not covered by feedback. Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ?
