  • Abstract
    The multichannel servo writer and the data read/write heads of the new DigaMaxTM tape storage system are discussed. These heads enable a storage capacity of 13 GB (uncompressed) on 300 m of 72 kA/m tape using prerecorded buried servo information for dynamic track following during reading and writing of data
