Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to a tape head and a tape head drive including a tape head. The tape head comprises at least one same gap verify (SGV) module comprising a closure, a substrate, and a plurality of write transducer and read transducer pairs. The write transducer and the read transducer of each pair are spaced a first distance in a first direction of about 5 μm to about 20 μm. The SGV module head assembly is configured to write data to a tape using the write transducer of each pair and read verify the data written on the tape using the read transducer of each pair such that the write transducer and read transducer of each pair are concurrently operable. In some embodiments, the SGV module head assembly is further configured for dynamic tilting to enable correcting of mis-registration caused by tape lateral dimension changes.
