Abstract

In a storage device, data is written to tracks on a storage medium. Data for each track includes a preamble. The preamble in any current track is orthogonal to the preamble in any track adjacent to the current track. A first read head is positioned over the current track and off-center toward a first adjacent track on a first side of the current track to detect first signals from among the current track, the first adjacent track, and a second adjacent track on a second side of the current track. A second read head is positioned over the current track and off-center relative to the current track toward the second adjacent track to detect second signals from among the current track, the first adjacent track, and the second adjacent track. Analyzing the first and second signals determines an amount by which the read heads are off-track from the current track.
