4.7.2 Data-surface servo format
Figure 4.8 describes the physical layout of the servo frame. The three areas indicated by (1) to (3) in Figure 4.8 are described below.
(1) Inner guard band
This area is located inside the user area, and the rotational speed of the VCM can be controlled on this cylinder area for head moving.
(2) Data area
This area is used as the user data area SA area.
(3) Outer guard band
This area is located at outer position of the user data area, and the rotational speed of the spindle can be controlled on this cylinder area for head moving.
