Abstract
In a disk drive apparatus, a first time period is determined, during which a first head driven by a first actuator will be performing a first disk access operation. A second time period is determined, during which a second head driven by a second actuator will be performing a second disk access operation. The first and second actuators are independently movable such that the first and second disk access operations are capable of being performed in parallel. If it is determined that the second disk access operation will impact servo control of the first disk access operation, at least one of the first and second disk access operations is changed to reduce the impact to the servo control of the first disk access operation.
