Data storage device managing peak current for multiple actuators
A data storage device is disclosed comprising a first actuator configured to actuate a first head over a first disk surface, and a second actuator configure to actuate a second head over a second disk surface. A first seek of the first head over the first disk surface is initiated during a first seek time based on a first seek profile. A second seek of the second head over the second disk surface is initiated during a second seek time based on a second seek profile. When the second seek time at least partially overlaps the first seek time and at least the second seek profile is a de-rated seek profile, the second seek profile is adjusted to avoid an overcurrent condition.
