Abstract

A data storage device is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a magnetic media comprising a plurality of data tracks, wherein each data track comprises a plurality of data sectors. A plurality of access commands are stored in a command queue, and an access command is selected from the command queue. When the selected access command is a write command to a target data track and at least part of a first data track proximate the target data track needs to be refreshed, a refresh read command is executed to read data from at least part of the first data track prior to executing the write command to the target data track.
