Abstract

A method of writing servo spirals for spiral-based self-servo writing includes determining control parameters for controlling movement of a write head between a first and a second disk radial location at a first velocity, writing a first spiral while controlling the movement of the write head between the first and the second disk radial location at the first velocity according to the determined control parameters, writing a second spiral while controlling movement of the write head between the first and the second disk radial location at a second velocity that is different from the first velocity, based on timing and location information from the first spiral, and writing a third spiral while controlling movement of the write head between the first and the second disk radial location at the first velocity according to the determined control parameters and based on timing and location information from the second spiral.
