Abstract

A hard disc drive includes a slider including a first reader and a second reader. The hard disc drive also includes a magnetic recording medium and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a distance between the slider and the magnetic recording medium based at least in part on amplitudes of read signals from both the first reader and the second reader.
