Abstract
A data storage device is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk comprising a plurality of tracks defined by servo sectors, wherein each servo sector comprises a plurality of servo bursts and the servo sectors define a plurality of servo wedges. A first write operation is executed to a first track and a first absolute position for the head is generated corresponding to a first servo wedge. A second write operation is executed to a second track and a second absolute position for the head is generated corresponding to the first servo wedge. An off-track write condition is detected when executing the second write operation based on the first absolute position and the second absolute position. The first absolute position comprises a track address of the first track and a position error measurement based on the servo bursts in the first servo wedge.
