    摘要: The present invention enhances reliability by correcting a write error due to unstable oscillation of a spin torque oscillator. In the present invention, a resistance value of a spin torque oscillator is monitored to detect that oscillation becomes unstable during recording. When a measured resistance value is out of a predefined normal range, information for which the recording operation is already performed is rewritten.
