<p>Storing data in a hard disk drive includes determining a percentage of storage usage (SU%) of the data tracks 113. If the SU% is less than a first threshold percentage (TP1) e.g. 25%, the method includes storing data to Nth data tracks (e.g. every fourth data track, sequence A). If the SU% is greater than or equal to TP1, but less than a second threshold percentage (TP2) e.g. 50%, the method includes storing data to about N/2 data tracks (e.g. every second data track, sequence B) between said Nth data tracks. If the SU% is greater than or equal to TP2, the method includes storing data to data tracks between the N/2 data tracks and the Nth data tracks (e.g. sequence C). The recording track sequence reduces adjacent track interference (ATI).</p> |
