Abstract:
A tape drive-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: using information read from one or more servo bands on a magnetic tape to position a magnetic tape head relative to the magnetic tape. An array of data transducers is positioned along the magnetic tape head, the array extending perpendicular to a direction of travel of the magnetic tape. Moreover, a group of servo readers is positioned at each end of the array of data transducers. A distance between each of the immediately adjacent servo readers in each of the groups of servo readers is less than or equal to one third of a prespecified width of each of the servo bands. Furthermore, the distance between each of the servo readers in each of the groups and the prespecified width are both measured in a direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the magnetic tape.

Claim (Index 14):
The tape drive-implemented method as recited in  claim 9 , wherein in response to determining that each of the servo bands are of a third configuration having a high density servo pattern and a timing based servo pattern, the high density servo pattern and the timing based servo pattern each having a width measured in the direction perpendicular to the direction of travel of the magnetic tape, each of the widths being one third of the prespecified width:\n using the servo readers to read the one or more of the servo bands, wherein using the servo readers to read the one or more of the servo bands includes:\n reading information from the timing based servo pattern with a first servo reader of one of the groups of servo readers; and \n reading information from the high density servo pattern with a second servo reader of the one of the groups of servo readers, and \n using the information read from the one or more of the servo bands to position the magnetic tape head relative to the magnetic tape includes:\n determining a lateral position of the magnetic tape head relative to the magnetic tape using: the information read from the timing based servo pattern, and the information read from the high density servo pattern; and \n determining a velocity of the magnetic tape using: the information read from the timing based servo pattern, and the information read from the high density servo pattern.
