A track accessing mechanism includes a track accessing arm actuable by a
primary actuation device for accessing concentric data tracks on a
storage medium and at least one slider attached to the track accessing
arm. The at least one slider includes a servo head configured to read
positional information from a plurality of continuous, concentric rings
radially spaced apart from each other on a storage medium and a data head
configured to read and write user data to the least one concentric data
track. At least a portion of each ring includes servo information. The at
least one data track is positioned between each continuous, concentric
ring on the storage medium.
