Abstract

The invention provides a magnetic disk and a method of writing servo data. Embodiments described herein provide for robust servo patterns that comply with planarization constraints and also allow use of a single master template for manufacture of both the front and back of a magnetic disk. Planarization constraints are met because only a portion of servo data is hard patterned on the magnetic disk and the hard patterned servo data areas comply with planarization constraints. The servo pattern has two symmetrical servo write assist patterns, one on each side of a central burst pattern. The servo sync, SAM, track-ID, sector-ID, and/or RRO values can be written magnetically by the write head onto these servo write assist patterns after the completion of the planarization process. The symmetric design of the servo pattern allows both a left-to-right and a right-to-left servo write and read back, thereby enabling use of a single master template in magnetic disk manufacture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of disk drive systems and, in particular, to servo patterns imprinted on patterned disks to align sliders with data on the disk. Background technique [0002] Many computing systems use disk drive systems for mass storage of information. Disk drives typically include one or more sliders including read and write heads. The actuator / cantilever holds the slider above the disk. Disks consist of data areas and servo sectors. A Voice Coil Motor (VCM) moves the actuator / cantilever to position the slider over the selected magnetically written data using feedback from the servo data. The electronics on a disk drive system include write drivers, read signal preamplifiers, read and write channels, controllers, and firmware. Controllers are usually various circuit chips connected on a printed circuit board. The controller includes one or more microprocessors, memory, servo control circuit, hard disk control circuit, ...
