A method for writing repeatable run-out (RRO) data, to surfaces of a rotating magnetic storage medium in a storage device having two read channels, includes detecting, with a first head, using a first read channel, a servo sync mark (SSM) on a first track on a first surface, establishing a recurring servo-gating signal at a successive fixed interval from the SSM, detecting, with the first head, servo signals from the first track on occurrence of the recurring servo-gating signal, processing the servo signals from the first track, to generate first positioning signals for positioning the first head relative to the first track, following a similar procedure with a second read channel having a second head to generate second positioning signals for the second read head, and writing first and second RRO data to servo wedges of the first and second tracks according to the respective positioning signals.

No: 18/066394 Application Filed: December 15, 2022 Assignees: Marvell Asia Pte Ltd (Singapore, SG) Claim: 1. A method for writing repeatable run-out data, representing a recurring contribution to position error, to multiple surfaces of a rotating magnetic storage medium in a storage device having two read channels, the method comprising: processing servo signals from a first track on a first storage medium surface of the storage device, to generate first positioning signals for positioning a first read head relative to the first track for writing first repeatable run-out data; processing servo signals from a second track, to generate second positioning signals for positioning a second read head relative to the second track for writing second repeatable run-out data; establishing a first recurring servo-gating signal for a first read channel at a successive fixed interval, based on rotation speed of the rotating magnetic storage medium, from an initial servo sync mark; and writing the first repeatable run-out data to servo wedges of the first track according to the first positioning signals, and the second repeatable run-out data to servo wedges of the second track according to the second positioning signals, using a single write data channel of the storage device. Claim: 2. The method of claim 1 wherein: processing the servo signals from the first track comprises processing the servo signals from the first track in a storage device controller separate from the storage device; and processing the servo signals from the second track comprises processing the servo signals from the second track in servo writing circuitry of the storage device. Claim: 3. The method of claim 2 further comprising storing the first positioning signals and the second positioning signals, prior to the writing, in memory in the servo writing circuitry of the storage device. Claim: 4. The method of claim 3 further comprising issuing respective first and second fetch commands from the servo writing circuitry to respectively fetch the first positioning signals and the second positioning signals from the memory. Claim: 5. The method of claim 1 wherein writing the first repeatable run-out signals to servo wedges of the first track according to the first positioning signals, and the second repeatable run-out signals to servo wedges of the second track according to the second positioning signals, using a single write data channel of the storage device, comprises temporally interleaving writing the first repeatable run-out signals to servo wedges of the first track with writing the second repeatable run-out signals to servo wedges of the second track. Claim: 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising locking the fixed interval to the rotation speed of the rotating magnetic storage medium. Claim: 7. The method of claim 6 wherein locking the fixed interval to the rotation speed of the rotating magnetic storage medium comprises: setting a counter as a timer of the fixed interval; marking a time difference between a selected position of the counter and the servo sync mark; periodically checking that the time difference between the selected position of the counter and the servo sync mark has not changed; and when the time difference between the selected position of the counter and the servo sync mark has changed, adjusting a clock source of the rotating magnetic storage medium. Claim: 8. The method of claim 7 wherein periodically checking comprises checking once during each servo wedge. Claim: 9. A data storage system comprising: a storage device; and a storage controller separate from the storage device; wherein: the storage device comprises: a storage medium, having multiple storage medium surfaces on which servo data is written, the servo data on each storage medium surface including a repeatable run-out field representing a recurring contribution to position error; and circuitry for writing the repeatable run-out field, the circuitry comprising: a first read channel, a second read channel, a first detector on a first read head of the storage device, the first detector being configured to detect data, including a servo sync mark, on a first track on a first storage medium surface of the storage device, and a second detector on a second read head of the storage device, the second detector being configured to detect data on a second track on a second storage medium surface of the storage device; and the system is configured to: process servo signals from the first track, to generate first positioning signals for positioning the first read head relative to the first track for writing first repeatable run-out data, process servo signals from the second track, to generate second positioning signals for positioning the second read head relative to the second track for writing second repeatable run-out data, and write the first repeatable run-out data to servo wedges of the first track according to the first positioning signals, and the second repeatable run-out signals to servo wedges of the second track according to the second positioning signals, using a single write data channel of the storage device. Claim: 10. The data storage system of claim 9 wherein the system is configured to: process the servo signals from the first track by processing the servo signals from the first track in a storage device controller separate from the storage device; and process the servo signals from the second track by processing the servo signals from the second track in servo writing circuitry of the storage device. Claim: 11. The data storage system of claim 10 further comprising memory in the servo writing circuitry of the storage device, the memory being configured to store the first positioning signals and the second positioning signals, prior to writing the first positioning signals to servo wedges of the first track and the second positioning signals to servo wedges of the second track. Claim: 12. The data storage system of claim 11 wherein the servo writing circuitry is configured to issue respective first and second fetch commands from the servo writing circuitry to respectively fetch the first positioning signals and the second positioning signals from the memory. Claim: 13.
