A method of associating data with a plurality of heads in a disc drive apparatus employs heads disposed in physical locations in a head array. A plurality of data sets are provided, wherein each data set is associated with an address corresponding to the physical location of a respective head in the head array. In addition, the number of heads in the disc drive apparatus is determined and, based on the number of heads, a new head location scheme is selected. The new head location scheme defines a new head location for each physical head location address. Each data set is then associated with the new head location associated, in the new head location scheme, with the physical head location address associated with the data set.
