The near field transducer (NFT) overheating problem is an issue the hard disk drive (HDD) industry has faced since heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) technology was first introduced. In this paper, a numerical study of the head disk interface (HDI) is performed to predict the significance of the nanoscale heat transfer due to the back heating from the disk. A steady-state heat transfer problem is first solved to get the disk temperature profile. Then an iterative simulation of the entire HDI system is performed. It shows that the heat transfer coefficient in the HDI increases to about 6:49 × 106 W/(m2K) when the clearance is 0:83 nm. It also shows that in the free space laser scenario, the simulation result is close to the experimental result.
