The invention relates to a disk drive servo apparatus, and method for implementing the same, that maintains a transducer on a substantially non-perturbed path despite the fact that the tracks were written in a perturbed manner by a servo track writer. The invention utilizes a non-causal filter to determine servo track writer repetitive run-out (STW_RRO) values for each sector of each track at the drive level. The STW_RRO values are stored, preferably in their respective servo sectors on the surface of the disk, for use during track following operations. During read and write operations, the STW_RRO values are retrieved from storage and are used to generate position error signals necessary to maintain the transducer on the desired path.
