  • Publication number: 20240105225
    Abstract: A controller of a magnetic disk device obtains, for each of a plurality of first position sets, a first distribution that is a radial distribution of differences between a target orbit of the magnetic head and an actual position of the magnetic head while correcting a disturbance synchronized with rotation of the magnetic disk by using correction amounts at a plurality of positions included in one of the plurality of first position sets. The controller performs weighting the first distribution according to a position in the radial direction and calculating an evaluation value based on the weighted first distribution for each of the plurality of first position sets. The controller selects a second position set from the plurality of first position sets based on the evaluation value. The controller records correction amounts at a plurality of positions included in the second position set by the magnetic head.
