Abstract

Devices including at least one storage disc having a recording surface segmented into a plurality of radial zones, each radial zone having an inner diameter and an outer diameter, each of the plurality of zones having a plurality of concentric tracks; and a track density ramp ratio assigned to each of the plurality of zones, where the track density ramp ratio describes an increase in the track density from the inner diameter of the zone to the outer diameter of the zone.
