Systems and methods for rewriting data of data tracks potentially affected by data transfer operations in rotatable storage media

摘要

Systems and methods in accordance with embodiments can be used to re-write user data to a rotatable storage medium. When a position of a write element is not within a threshold during a data write operation, a part of a data track potentially affected by the write operation, while the position of the write element was not within the threshold, can be determined. When the device including the rotatable storage medium is free from other data transfer operations, the data of the data track potentially affected by the write operation can be re-written. In this manner, data that may be considered less reliable due to the misplacement of a write element during a data write operation, can be re-written.
