Abstract
A storage device includes a storage medium and a storage device controller that selectively varies a value of at least one write current parameter to generate alternating data tracks of variable written track width. According to one implementation, the alternating data tracks of variable written track width are generated with a single writer.

10. A method comprising:
-
defining a first set of values for write current parameters for use when writing data to a pair of non-adjacent data tracks on a storage medium; and defining a second different set of values for the write current parameters for use when writing data to a third data track interlaced with the pair of non-adjacent data tracks. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
