Abstract
A method and system can be implemented to perform a read-modify-write operation on data recorded in a shingled media format. In one embodiment, a write operation on a band of data stored on a magnetic recording medium is initiated at an intermediate position within the band of data. This is particularly well-suited for data written by a shingled media write operation.
