Abstract
A data storage device comprises a disk having a plurality of data tracks and a plurality of servo wedges wherein the plurality of servo wedges comprise a plurality of wedge repeatable runout (WRRO) fields configured to store a plurality of WRRO compensation values in connection with the plurality of data tracks. The data storage device may also include a read/write head configured to be actuated over the disk, and a controller configured to gather position error signal (PES) data needed for computation of the WRRO compensation values during a field operation of the data storage device. The data storage device may be further configured to adjust a position of the read/write head based on the WRRO compensation values.
