Abstract
A method includes calculating, by a data storage device processor, at least one access trajectory from a first disc surface location to at least one second disc surface location at which at least one primary data access operation is to be carried out. The method also includes determining, by the data storage device controller, whether an opportunity to commence at least one secondary data access operation exists along or proximate to the at least one access trajectory from the first disc surface location to the at least one second disc surface location.
