There has been code in hard drives for a long time which re-writes adjacent sectors/tracks if there are too many writes to a particular area. If you are seeing corruption due to repeated writes then it is most likely a bug in the firmware and I'm sure the manufacturer would love to know about your workload so they can fix it.
