ABSTRACT:
A method for writing data to a tape at multiple rates for simultaneously creating data tracks having differing linear data densities, according to one embodiment, includes passing a tape over a head, the head having an array of writers thereon; receiving incoming data; mapping the data to a two dimensional array corresponding to the array of writers; clocking some of the mapped data to a first writer in the array of writers at a first rate; and clocking some of the mapped data to a second writer in the array of writers at a second rate different than the first rate.
