1. A data storage device comprising:
- a disk comprising a plurality of data sectors;
a head actuated over the disk; and
control circuitry configured to;
during a first revolution of the disk, first encode write data into a codeword spanning at least a first data sector and a second data sector and write a first part of the codeword to the first data sector; and
during a second revolution of the disk, second encode the write data into the codeword and write a second part of the codeword to the second data sector.

Abstract
A data storage device is disclosed comprising a head actuated over a disk comprising a plurality of data sectors. During a first revolution of the disk, write data is first encoded into a codeword spanning at least a first data sector and a second data sector and a first part of the codeword is written to the first data sector. During a second revolution of the disk, the write data is second encoded into the codeword and a second part of the codeword is written to the second data sector.
