A hard disc drive (HDD) that has improved head stability at low
temperatures and a method of supplying current to a head of the HDD. The
HDD includes a disc, a tunneling magneto resistance (TuMR) head to read
data recorded on the disc having a heating coil, and a current control
unit to supply a current corresponding to the ambient temperature
surrounding the HDD to the heating coil. The current control unit
supplies a current corresponding to the ambient temperature to the
heating coil of the head. Since a heating coil is inserted in the TuMR
head, an optimum current corresponding to the ambient temperature can be
supplied to the heating coil, and thus, the head instability during a
reading operation at low temperatures can be prevented.
