The present disclosure describes aspects of health management for magnetic storage media. In some aspects, a media health manager determines, with a read channel, read metrics for a sector of magnetic storage media that resides in a zone of magnetic storage media. The media health manager accesses read metrics of the zone and updates the read metrics of the zone based on the read metrics determined for the sector to provide updated read metrics for the zone of magnetic storage media. A health score for the zone of magnetic storage media is then determined with a neural network based on the updated read metrics of the zone of magnetic storage media. By so doing, gradual wear of the magnetic storage media may be predicted using the health score, enabling replacement of a magnetic storage media device before failure to improve reliability or availability of data stored to the device.
