Abstract
A data storage device is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk comprising servo data for defining a plurality of data tracks, wherein each data track comprises a plurality of data segments. First data is written to data segments of a first data track, and second data is written to data segments of a second data track. After writing the second data, the first data is read at multiple off-track offsets of the first data track to measure an average off-track read capability (OTRC) of the first data track. A cross-track profile is generated for a first data segment of the first data track, and at least part of the cross-track profile is correlated with the measured average OTRC.
