    Abstract: A data storage device includes at least one data storage disc having at least one data storage surface, and at least one read head configured to communicate with the at least one data storage surface. The data storage device also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the at least one read head. The controller is configured to determine a fly height for the at least one read head over the at least one data storage surface as a function of a read workload associated with the at least one data storage surface or as a function of an ability to satisfy a read request to the at least one data storage surface on a first read attempt.
