Abstract

A magnetic recording medium includes a recording surface comprising a first recording layer having a first ferromagnetic resonant frequency and a second recording layer having a second ferromagnetic resonant frequency. The first recording layer is configured for storing user data and the second recording layer configured for storing servo data. A recording head arrangement is configured for microwave-assisted magnetic recording (MAMR) and writing user data to the first recording layer. The recording head arrangement comprises a write pole configured to generate a write magnetic field, and a write-assist arrangement proximate the write pole. The write-assist arrangement is configured to generate a radiofrequency assist magnetic field at a frequency that corresponds to the first ferromagnetic resonant frequency. A reader of the recording head arrangement is configured to read combined signals from the first and second recording layers.
