  • Patent number: 6917490
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a processor and a disk drive coupled to receive information from the processor. The disk drive is configured to write the information to a first location on a platter. The disk drive is further configured to write the information to n locations on the platter such that a phase difference between successive locations is approximately (360 divided by n) degrees where n is an integer greater than or equal to two.
