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.
