Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for resource allocation for multi-actuator systems. In some examples, a data storage device can include two or more independently moveable voice coil motor (VCM) actuators where the resources of the system to operate the VCM actuators are divided. The disclosure here describes methods to allocate or re-allocate the divided resources, such as unused resources, to a VCM actuator that has a need for more resources. The methods and systems herein can also be applied to other actuator systems.
