HDD head having same gap verify and system for using same

A magnetic recording device, comprising:

• a magnetic recording head, the magnetic recording head comprising:
• a write head comprising:
• a trailing shield disposed at a media facing surface (MFS);
• a main pole disposed adjacent to the trailing shield at the MFS;
• and
• a leading shield disposed adjacent to the main pole opposite the trailing shield at the MFS;
• and
• a read head disposed adjacent to the write head, the read head comprising:
• a first shield disposed at the MFS, the first shield being disposed adjacent to the leading shield;
• a second shield disposed at the MFS;
• and
• a magnetic sensor disposed between the first shield and the second shield at the MFS, wherein the read head is spaced a distance of about 5 μm to about 20 μm from the write head, and wherein a central axis of the main pole is aligned with a central axis of the magnetic sensor;
• and
• a control unit coupled to the magnetic recording head, the control unit configured to control the magnetic recording head to write data to a media using the write head and read verify the data using the read head.

A magnetic recording device, comprising:

• a magnetic recording head, the magnetic recording head comprising:
• a perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) write head comprising:
• a trailing shield disposed at a media facing surface (MFS);
• a main pole disposed adjacent to the trailing shield at the MFS;
• and
• a leading shield disposed adjacent to the main pole opposite the trailing shield at the MFS;
• and
• a read head disposed adjacent to the write head, the read head comprising:
• a first shield disposed at the MFS, the first shield being disposed adjacent to the leading shield;
• a second shield disposed at the MFS;
• and
• a magnetic sensor disposed between the first shield and the second shield at the MFS,
• wherein:
• the read head is spaced a distance of about 5 μm to about 20 μm from the PMR write head such that the magnetic recording head is controllable to write data to a media using the PMR write head and read verify the data using the read head, and
• the magnetic recording head is tilted to a glide angle of about 80 micro-radians with respect to the media.
