Abstract
A storage device includes a controller that determines a degree of data degradation for a data track targeted by a pending read command and sets a head/media clearance parameter for execution of the read command based on the determined degree of data degradation for the data track, the head/media clearance parameter providing for a greater head-media separation when the determined level of degradation is lower than when the determined level of degradation is higher.
