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 2):
The tape drive-implemented method as recited in  claim 1 , comprising:\n determining a servo band configuration of the servo bands on the magnetic tape, wherein in response to determining that each of the servo bands is 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: 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.
