Abstract
To access data on a storage medium, at least three servo stripes simultaneously recorded in a servo track are read. The at least three servo stripes have different orientations on the servo track. An indication of a lateral position of a storage medium access head with respect to the servo track is generated based on reading the at least three servo stripes.
