A method of writing product servo sectors to a disk of a disk drive is disclosed. A plurality of spiral tracks are written to the disk, wherein each spiral track comprises a high frequency signal interrupted at a predetermined interval by a sync mark. During the product servo writing process, the sync marks in the spiral tracks are read to generate a coarse timing recovery measurement, and the high frequency signal in the spiral tracks is read to generate a fine timing recovery measurement. The coarse and fine timing recovery measurements are processed to synchronize a servo write clock used to write the product servo sectors to the disk. In one embodiment the control circuitry within the disk drive synchronizes the servo write clock by reading the spiral tracks, and in an alternative embodiment an external product servo writer synchronizes the servo write clock by reading the spiral tracks.
