Abstract:
A method for performing servo writing in a multi-actuator disk storage device having at least two actuators respectively mounting plural product heads, comprising the steps of:performing a first servo write operation that includes: operating a product head of a first one of said actuators as a first clock head to generate first clock reference information; operating the product heads of a second one of said actuators as servo write heads to perform servo writing of all disk areas associated with said second actuator using said first clock reference information and actuator self-positioning; and performing a second servo write operation that includes: operating a product head of said second actuator as a second clock head to generate second clock reference information; operating the product heads of said first actuator as servo write heads to perform servo writing of all disk areas associated with said first actuator using said second clock reference information and actuator self-positioning.
