Abstract
A method for writing tracks on a rotating disk media data storage device comprising the steps of: receiving a set of component parameters; and adjusting track pitch for each of the tracks to be written in each disk according to the component parameters. According to another embodiment a disk drive includes at least one disk comprising a two or more of tracks in which the track pitch between each pair of adjacent tracks is set based on component parameters such as the recording head widths. According to another embodiment a servowriter is adapted to perform the method discussed above.
