A data storage device is disclosed wherein a first codeword is generated comprising first redundancy, and a second codeword is generated comprising second redundancy. At least part of the first codeword is written to a first data sector and a second data sector of a first data track on a disk, and at least part of the second codeword is written to a third data sector and a fourth data sector of the first data track different from the first data sector and the second data sector. When an anomaly is detected in the first data sector, first extended redundancy is generated over at least the first data sector and the second data sector of the first data track without generating second extended redundancy over the third data sector and the fourth data sector. Data is recovered from the first data sector based on the first extended redundancy.
