1. An apparatus comprising:
a plurality of sensors each configured to generate sense signals from an adjacent pattern comprising first and second tracks having spaced apart servo control fields, a first sensor of the plurality of sensors selected to decode data from the first track responsive to the generated sense signals obtained from a first servo control field, and a different, second sensor selected to decode data from the second track responsive to the generated sense signals obtained from a second control field; and a processing circuit configured to decode data from the adjacent pattern using the generated sense signals to concurrently decode the data from each of the first and second tracks. |
