A data storage device includes a hard disk drive coupled to a printed circuit board (PCB), a volatile memory device coupled to the PCB, a non-volatile memory device coupled to the PCB, and a controller coupled to the PCB, such that the controller is in communication with the hard disk drive, the volatile memory device, and the non-volatile memory device. The controller is configured to identify patterns and/or structures of metadata for the hard disk drive, perform one or more of the following to the metadata to tailor the metadata: data shaping, content aware decoding, adaptive data trimming, and/or adaptive metablock sizing, and write the tailored metadata to the non-volatile memory device. The metadata is at least one of repeatable run out metadata, positioning error signal metadata, adjacent track interference metadata, and/or emergency power off metadata.
