<p>A heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) disk drive has a laser, a transducer coupled to the laser and a rotatable disk. The disk has a recording layer with concentric or spiral data tracks, servo sectors extending across the tracks, a laser power gap adjacent each servo sector, and data sectors between the laser power gaps and the servo sectors. The servo sector preceding the first data sector to be written and the servo sector following the last data sector to be written are identified. Any old data in the data sectors between said first and last servo sectors is acquired, and the old and new data is combined. The laser is turned on when the laser power gap adjacent the first servo sector rotates past the transducer. The combined old and new data is then written in all of the data sectors continuously between said first and last servo sectors.</p> |
