Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for reducing write splice failures. In one embodiment, a system for writing data to a media includes a write buffer for storing a data sector and a backup power device for providing power to the write buffer in the event of a power failure to hold the data sector in the write buffer. The next time the system is powered up after the power failure, the system reads the data sector from the write buffer and uses the read data sector to correct a write splice on the media that may have occurred due to the power failure.
