A disk drive includes a rotatable disk, a transducer, an actuator, and a controller. The disk includes a first servo burst pattern in a first radial spoke of the disk, and a second servo burst pattern in a second radial spoke of the disk. The first and second servo burst patterns are radially offset from each other and are associated with a plurality of data tracks extending through the first and second radial spokes. The transducer is configured to read the first and second servo burst patterns on the disk to generate a servo burst signal. The actuator is configured to position the transducer relative to the disk. The controller is configured to control positioning of the transducer relative to the tracks on the disk based on the servo burst signal.
