Determination of reader to writer crosstrack offset via a magnetic disk |
摘要 |
A pattern is written to only a portion of a test track of a magnetic disk. The pattern written to the portion of the test track is read using a read head. A cross-track offset between the read head and a write head is determined at a position on a disk based on reading the pattern. |

1. A method comprising:
writing a pattern to only a portion of a test track of a magnetic disk, the magnetic disk comprising a heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) medium, wherein writing the pattern to only the portion of the test track reduces a duty cycle of a laser and near-field-transducer (NFT) during the writing; reading the pattern written to the portion of the test track using a read head; and determining a cross-track offset between the read head and a write head at a position on a disk based on reading the pattern. |
