Abstract:
A data storage device is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk comprising a plurality of data tracks, including a first data track and a second data track. In connection with writing to at least part of the first data track, a quality metric is measured for at least part of the first data track. In connection with writing to at least part of the second data track, a refresh metric is updated based on the write to at least part of second data track and the quality metric measured for the first data track, and at least the first data track is refreshed based on the refresh metric.
