    摘要: A servo pattern recording method includes: determining a first servo band group that includes three or more servo bands for recording a servo pattern in which first servo band identification information having a plurality of bits is to be embedded, and a second servo band group that includes three or more servo bands for recording a servo pattern in which second servo band identification information having a plurality of bits is to be embedded, the second servo band identification information being different from the first servo band identification information; and recording the first and second servo band identification information on the first and second servo band groups, respectively, such that a combination of a first pair and a second pair is not duplicated, the first pair being a pair of servo band identification information and a phase in one servo band read by a first servo read head, the second pair being a pair of servo band identification information and a phase in the other servo band read by a second servo read head.

    摘要: The present disclosure generally relates to a tape utilized with a tape drive including a tape head. The tape comprises a plurality of writeable portions configured to store data and a plurality of non-writeable portions that are unable to store data. The writeable portions comprise one or more materials selected from the group consisting of: Ru, Pt, Ta, and Co, and the non-writeable portions comprise a different material than the writeable portions. Each writeable portion is defined between two non-writeable portions, and each writeable portion has a greater area on the tape than each non-writeable portion. The non-writeable portions are utilized during stop-start and turn-around operations of the tape head, are configured to lubricate the tape head, clean the tape head, and remove debris from the tape head. The non-writeable portions enable improved performance of the tape drive while reducing a cost of the tape.
