Abstract
Example storage preamplifier circuits, data storage devices, and methods for parallel self-servo write are described. The data storage device may include a pair of preamplifier circuits electrically connected to respective banks of read heads actuated over a storage media surfaces. In read/write operation, each preamplifier circuit may selectively and sequentially provide read signals from a selected head to a pair of read channel interfaces. In self-servo write operation, each preamplifier circuit may selectively and in parallel provide read signals from a selected head in their corresponding banks of read heads to the pair of read channel interfaces. For example, the pair of read channel interfaces for two-dimensional magnetic recording may receive read signals from one read sensor in a head in the first bank of heads and another read sensor for another head in the second bank of heads.
