ABSTRACT:
Systems and data storage devices in accordance with embodiments of the present invention can execute instructions to determine a width of a data stroke along a rotatable medium. In one embodiment, the width can be determined by measuring a distance from a marker zone edge of a template pattern on the rotatable medium to a ramp positioned adjacent to the rotatable medium or near the inner diameter of the rotatable medium, and measuring a distance from the marker zone edge to a crash stop. A track layout can be determined based on the width of the data stroke.
