摘要:
A magnetic recording disk drive can prevent the deterioration of the head off-track characteristics and the reduction of the drive performance even when an erase band asymmetry resulting from a skew angle exists. A write inhibit slice value for an inner peripheral side offset is made smaller than a write inhibit slice value for an outer peripheral side offset at a position where an erase band on the inner peripheral side is greater than an erase band on the outer peripheral side, so that the adjacent track on the outer peripheral side cannot easily erase a data track. On the contrary, the inner periphery and the outer periphery are paraphrased at a position where the erase band on the outer peripheral side is greater than the erase band on the inner peripheral side.

A plurality of patterns are formed so that each is deviated slightly from another in each sector in the track width direction. Then, the pattern is followed up, thereby obtaining both a full-track profile and a micro-track profile. A variation of a position signal is detected from this profile, thereby creating a table for correcting the non-linearity error of the position signal. Consequently, the distribution of the write/read-back property is measured, thereby enabling the track density to be improved. Furthermore, a variation of the position signal caused by a property variation of the head read-back element is detected and corrected, thereby enabling a high reliability and a high track density to be realized for the object magnetic recording disk apparatus.

A plurality of patterns are formed beforehand so that each of those patterns is deviated slightly from another in each sector in the track width direction, then the pattern is followed up, thereby obtaining both full-track profile and micro-track profile.

A magnetic disk drive has a low power consumption state in which the spindle motor is stopped for reducing the average power consumption when no read or write commands have been received. When a read or write command is received, the spindle motor is started. The time it takes to complete a read command is shorter than that for a write command as measured from the receipt of the read command or write command with the spindle motor stopped in the low power consumption state.

The invention relates to a magnetic recording/reproducing device in which a reproduce head is positioned where the crosstalk between adjacent tracks in a magnetic disk is minimized to maintain an adequate transfer rate in a system involving great crosstalk. The removal of crosstalk ensures the reproduction of the recorded data and thus increases the reliability of the magnetic recording/reproducing device. The magnetic recording/reproducing device according to this invention includes a magnetic disk on which a plurality of tracks are concentrically formed, and data are recorded at different frequencies on adjacent tracks.

To improve the track density by reducing the discontinuity of servo patterns to be generated by a servo track writer, some servo areas existing in one circuit of a magnetic disk are formed at the consecutive first and second circuits of a servo track writer by averaging a plurality of position signals detected from servo patterns at the first and second circuits of the magnetic disk.

In the present invention, by making the width of the write element larger than the track pitch and securing a write magnetic field strong enough to reverse the magnetization of the magnetic layer, and further by writing while shifting a write head comprising the write element, a magnetic disk drive, of which the track width is narrower than the write element width, and the storage capacity is large, is realized.
