    Abstract: A system includes, according to one embodiment, a magnetic head having a plurality of write transducers configured to store data to tracks of a sequential access medium and a plurality of read transducers. Each read transducer is configured to read data from the sequential access medium after being written thereto by a corresponding write transducer. A first of the read transducers is aligned with a first of the write transducers, wherein the output of the first read transducer is produced during read-while-write. The system also includes a controller and logic integrated with and/or executable by the controller. The logic is configured to read, using the plurality of read transducers, encoded data from a plurality of tracks of the sequential access medium simultaneously. The logic is configured to determine that one or more tracks of the sequential access medium are dead within a sliding window and rewrite a set of encoded data from the one or more dead tracks to one or more live tracks in a rewrite area of the sequential access medium. Other systems, methods, and computer program products are described according to more embodiments.
