Abstract

A data storage device is disclosed comprising a first disk comprising first servo sectors A0-AN distributed around a circumference of the first disk, and a second disk comprising second servo sectors B0-BN distributed around a circumference of the second disk, wherein the second servo sectors B0-BN are offset circumferentially from the first servo sectors A0-AN. While the first and second disks are rotating second servo information is transmitted from a second servo channel to a first servo channel. One of the first servo sectors Ai is read to generate first servo information, and a first command value is generated based on the first servo information and the second servo information, wherein a first actuator is controlled based on the first command value.
