Abstract
A magnetic media library drive includes a first disk medium fixed to a spindle, a first read-write transducer configured to operate on the first disk, a second read-write transducer configured to operate on a surface of a single removable second disk medium installed over the first disk, and electronic controller circuitry configured to cause: while the first transducer is servo-positioning from a master servo pattern from the first disk, the second transducer servo-writes a product servo pattern, based on the master servo pattern, to the surface of the second disk. The removable second disk can be removed, turned over, and secured to the spindle, whereby the self-servo writing procedure can be performed on the other side of the second disk based on the master servo pattern on the first disk.
