In the manufacture of a high capacity data storage device having multiple surfaces for recording information, the yield of the manufacturing process is improved by providing the storage device with a spare surface. If a recording surface is found to be totally defective, or, substantially worse than the other surfaces, as determined by the manufacturing testing procedures, that surface is, by means of a remapping table, logically retired and the information intended for the defective surface is stored on the logically reallocated spare surface.
