Abstract

A self-servo-write (SSW) method in a storage device includes detecting, with a first read head, SSW spiral signals from a first track on a first storage medium surface, processing the SSW spiral signals from the first track using a first read channel, to generate first control signals for positioning the first read head relative to the first track, detecting, with a second read head, SSW spiral signals from a second track on a second storage medium surface, processing the SSW spiral signals from the second track using a second read channel, to generate second control signals for positioning the second read head relative to the second track, positioning a first write head relative to the first track using the first control signals via a single write channel, and positioning a second write head relative to the second track using the second control signals via the single write channel.
