A disk drive having reduced electromagnetic emission quasi-peaks is
provided. The repetition rate of servo blocks or data is reduced, spread
or otherwise altered. In one embodiment, the number of data zones is
increased to achieve an emissions reduction goal. In one embodiment, the
disk drive is configured to effectively have one track per zone. In one
embodiment, the rotation rate of the disk is varied or the effective data
bit density, as detected by the read/write head, is otherwise varied. In
one embodiment, servo-sectors are intentionally positioned to vary the
length, along the track, of inter-servo intervals.
