Abstract
A data storage device is disclosed comprising a coarse actuator configured to actuate a first head over a first disk surface and a second head over a second disk surface. A first fine actuator is configured to actuate the first head over the first disk surface, and a second fine actuator is configured to actuate the second head over the second disk surface. A first bias signal is calibrated for the first fine actuator, and a second bias signal is calibrated for the second fine actuator. The first fine actuator is controlled based on the first bias signal and the second fine actuator is controlled based on the second bias signal in order to concurrently access the first disk surface and the second disk surface.
