A control device is provided which can perform a retraction operation of a head included in a disk storage device with lower power consumption.The control device of the disk storage device includes a control unit that controls a motor and retracts the head from over a disk to a ramp mechanism when power supply is shut down, an acquisition unit that acquires information related to a moving distance of the head that retracts to the ramp mechanism, and a calculation unit that calculates the moving distance of the head based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit. The control unit switches an operation of the motor from a first retract operation to a second retract operation when determining that the head reaches a first position after passing through an inclined surface of the ramp mechanism based on the moving distance calculated by the calculation unit.

An optical disk drive and a digital servo method for the optical disk drive includes controlling functions of the optical disk drive with a microprocessor. Low-pass filtered and gain-adjusted versions of photodetector output signals resulting from an illumination of an optical disk are received. Versions of the photodetector signals are digitized to produce digital signals. A focus control signal is determined through at least one servo algorithm executed by a digital signal processor based on a focus error determined from the digital signals. Alternatively, a tracking control signal is determined through at least one servo algorithm executed by the digital signal processor based on a tracking error determined from the digital signals. The digital signal processor has a specialized structure and arrangement for processing digital signals at a higher speed than the microprocessor.
