Zusammenfassung:Provided are actively written guard bands in a cold storage or mixed mode drive. A disk drive having at least one disk with a major disk surface that includes a first region including a plurality of tracks and a second region including a plurality of tracks. The first and second region are separated by a guard band. The track or tracks near the guard band have a track width that is greater than the track widths of the tracks more distant from the guard band, such as those in the middle of the first and second regions as this reduces the occurrence of far track interference.
