Abstract:
Two or more signals are read from two or more respective tracks of a disk drive recording medium using respective two or more read transducers co-located on a slider. The slider is aligned to the two or more tracks in response to the correlation between the two or more signals.
Abstract:
Servo data of one or more tracks of a disk are collected using first and second read transducers co-located on a slider. Redundant portions of the servo data collected by the first and second read transducers are compared, and at least part of the servo data validating or corrected based on comparing the redundant portions.
Abstract:
At least three servo burst frequencies are simultaneously detected during a rotation of a disk using a read head. A position of the read head during the rotation is determined based on simultaneously reading at least two of the at least three servo burst frequencies.
