According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk drive includes a disk, a first microactuator, a second microactuator and a servo controller. The disk comprises a first surface and a second surface. The first and second microactuators allow first and second heads associated with the first and second surfaces to make micromotion based on first and second operation amounts, respectively. The servo controller provides a third operation amount to the first microactuator as the first operation amount and provides an operation amount obtained by inverting a polarity of a frequency component with a particular frequency contained in the third operation amount, to the second microactuator as the second operation amount, if the third operation amount is generated as an operation amount to be provided to the first microactuator in a particular mode in which the first surface is used as a tracking surface.

According to one embodiment, a servo write module is configured to write radial servo patterns on the disk media using a first spiral servo pattern of the spiral servo patterns as a base pattern for tracing, to detect a shift amount of a sync mark position in each of other spiral servo patterns with respect to a sync mark position in the first spiral servo pattern, and to adjust, when the base pattern is switched from the first spiral servo pattern to a second spiral servo pattern of the spiral servo patterns, a phase of the servo write clock based on the detected shift amount corresponding to the second spiral servo pattern.

According to one embodiment, a disk drive includes a detection signal producing module configured to produce a detection signal by reading each of the spiral servo patterns, the spiral servo patterns being read by a head while the head scans a circumferential direction region on the disk media. A position error computation module is configured to produce servo burst signals A, B, C, and D using a plurality of frames obtained by dividing the detection signal at even time intervals, at least one burst signal of the servo burst signals being produced using at least two frames in the frames, and to compute a position error of the head based on amplitude values of the produced burst signals.

According to one embodiment, a search module searches for a timing when a moving direction of a head changes in order to detect a first timing when the head collides against a stopper of a ramp during a head unload operation and a second timing when the head rebounds as a result of the collision. A calculation module calculates a rebound distance that the head has rebounded based on the first timing and the second timing.
