Abstract

Various illustrative aspects are directed to a data storage device, method, and one or more processing devices that are configured to: determine an initial track pitch based on a performance metric determined for the head; determine a track pitch adjustment based on a measure of servo pattern distortion associated with a region of the disk; and set a final track pitch for the region of the disk based on the track pitch adjustment and the initial track pitch.
