A system including a read module, a clock generator module, and a write module. The read module generates read signals in response to reading servo spirals from a magnetic medium of a hard disk drive. The clock generator module generates a spiral clock based on the read signals, and generates, based on the spiral clock, (i) a first write clock and (ii) a second write clock. The spiral clock has a first frequency, the first write clock has a second frequency, and the second write clock has a third frequency. The write module is configured to (i) write a first servo wedge on a first zone of the magnetic medium of the hard disk drive based on the first write clock, and (ii) write a second servo wedge on a second zone of the magnetic medium of the hard disk drive based on the second write clock.
