Abstract
A storage device includes a storage controller configured to write a band of data tracks using a first recording method until criterion is met. The first method may be a conventional recording method. After the criterion is met, the storage controller is configured to write data to the band using a second recording method. The second recording method may be an enhanced capacity recording method such as interlaced magnetic recording (IMR) or shingled magnetic recording (SMR).
