Abstract

See full text

A method may include causing a write head of a magnetic data storage drive to write a first portion of data to a magnetic data storage device of the magnetic data storage drive based at least in part on a first value of at least one parameter of a write current. The method may include updating a value of a write counter and determining whether the value of the write counter is greater than or equal to a threshold write count. The method may also include adjusting the at least one parameter of the write current to a second, different value. The method may further include causing the write head to write a second portion of data to the magnetic data storage device based at least in part on the second value of the at least one parameter of the write current.
