Abstract
A method and an apparatus for reading and/or writing data on a disk ( ) storing data in a continuous spiral form ( ). The data is simultaneously read from or written to N tracks ( ) by N spots, N being an integer larger than or equal to 2. The reading and/or writing is performed by alternating between reading/writing and actuator jumps. In order to increase the efficiency of such multi track disk drives a next jump decision is calculated dynamically on the basis of a real-time analysis determining a next position of a unit ( ) for reading/writing data relative to the disk ( ).
