Re-writing of initial sectors in a storage device

摘要

Technologies are described herein for rewriting the initial sectors of a data track on a recording medium of a storage device in order to reduce the occurrence of initial sector weak writes and/or adjacent track erasure. Upon receiving a write command at the storage device, a plurality of sequential segments on the recording media targeted by the write command is determined. The plurality of sequential segments is written to the recording medium, and then data is rewritten to an initial segment of the plurality of sequential segments.

1. A method comprising steps of:
receiving a write command at a controller of a storage device; determining, by the controller, a plurality of sequential segments of a recording media targeted by the write command; writing, by the controller, data to each of the plurality of sequential segments; and upon writing data to a last segment of the plurality of sequential segments, rewriting, by the controller, the data to an initially-written segment of the plurality of sequential segments.
