Abstract
Implementations described and claimed herein includes a storage device comprising a plurality of readers, including a first subset of readers configured to read a first subset of tracks and a second subset of readers configured to read a second subset of tracks, the first subset of tracks being wider than the second subset of tracks. In another implementation, the readers in the first subset of readers are wider than the readers in the second subset of readers. The wider readers may be configured to recover servo information and the narrow readers may be configured to recover data information. The storage devices may include two-dimensional magnetic recording, conventional perpendicular magnetic recording, shingled magnetic recording, multi-sensor magnetic recording, and interlaced magnetic recording.
