Abstract
Managing data stored on media of a Data Storage Device (DSD) using zone relocation. At least a portion of the media is logically divided into a plurality of zones and zones are identified with access counts greater than or equal to a threshold. The access count for each of the identified zones indicates a number of times data in the zone has been read or written. Data is relocated from at least one zone of the identified zones to at least one destination zone on the media to reduce a data access time between the identified zones.
