<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ATE refresh which is novel and improved, and accompanies a track resolution for an often-written area. Ž<P>SOLUTION: A method and a system using group counters and track counters to reduce the need for adjacent-track-erasure (ATE) refresh are shown. A group threshold may be used to monitor the number of write operations to a group (915). The threshold may be used to determine when it is necessary to monitor the write operation to the track in a group on an individual basis (920). Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
