Abstract
A heat-assisted magnetic recording head is configured to write data to and read data from a magnetic recording medium. The head comprises a reader and a writer including a near-field transducer (NFT). The reader comprises a center which is laterally offset relative to a center of the writer to define a reader-writer offset (RWO) therebetween. A controller is configured to control the writer to write data to data tracks of the medium, detect a shift in the RWO, and in response to the detected shift in the RWO, control the writer to write data to a plurality of tracks defining a reserved band during an open period of the reserved band.
