    摘要: A method of writing product servo sectors to a disk of a disk drive is disclosed. The disk comprises a plurality of spiral tracks, wherein each spiral track comprises a high frequency signal interrupted at a predetermined interval by a sync mark. The read signal from the head is processed to detect a plurality of the sync marks in a spiral track crossing. A timing recovery measurement is generated in response to a selected one of the sync marks based on reliability metrics, wherein a servo write clock is synchronized in response to the timing recovery measurement. The read signal representing the high frequency signal in the spiral track crossing is processed to generate a position error signal (PES) used to maintain the head along a substantially circular target path while using the servo write clock to write product servo sectors along the circular target path.

    摘要: The present invention may be embodied in a method and a disk drive for improving head position accuracy during track following through real-time identification of external vibration. A selected track is followed using a servo control loop having a nominal gain and being responsive to position error signal samples generated based on a difference between head position samples and a reference head position value. A spectral power value within a predetermined frequency band is determined from a sequence of the position error signal samples. If a property of the spectral power value exceeds a threshold, the gain of the servo control loop is increased within the predetermined frequency band to attenuate the effect of external vibration on the position of the head over the selected track during track following.
