The disclosed technology provides a system and method that improves interlaced magnetic recording (IMR) data throughput in vibration in storage systems. In one implementation, a method includes determining whether there are write retry operations in the IMR storage device, determining whether bottom track caching space is available responsive to determining whether there are write retry operations in the IMR storage device, performing a vibration detection scheme to identify vibration events responsive to determining whether bottom track caching space is available, determining if a number of vibration events is above a predetermined threshold, and writing data to available bottom track caching space responsive to determining if the number of vibration events is above a predetermined threshold.
