1. A storage device, comprising:
- a storage media; and
a storage device controller configured to;
write data to one or more data tracks of a target band on the storage media using a first recording scheme,monitor the target band to determine whether a criterion has been satisfied;
read the one or more data tracks of the target band into a memory met responsive to a determination that the criterion has been satisfied; and
write the one or more data tracks to the target band on the storage media using a second recording scheme different from the first recording scheme.

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).

4. A method comprising:
-
receiving a command to write data to a track of a target band, the target band having recorded data using a first recording scheme; determine whether a criterion is satisfied in the target band; and responsive to a determination that the criterion is met, recording the write data to the target band using a second recording scheme, wherein the second recording scheme is different from the first recording scheme. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 20)

14. One or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media encoding computer-executable instructions for executing on a storage device a computer process, the computer process comprising:
-
recording data to a target band of one or more data tracks using a first recording scheme; and responsive to a determination that a criterion is satisfied in the target band of one or more data tracks, recording the data to the target band of one or more data tracks using a second recording scheme, the second recording scheme being different from the first recording scheme. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21)
