Abstract

See full text

According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk storage device includes a magnetic disk, a head, a clock generator, an estimating module, and a controller. The magnetic disk includes a servo area and a corresponding data area, and has a surface divided into zones in the radial direction. The basic frequency varies in the servo area depending on the zones. The head is driven to read a signal from the magnetic disk. The clock generator generates a clock signal for decoding a signal read from the data area corresponding to the servo area based on a signal read from the servo area. The estimating module estimates the position of the servo area in the radial direction, from which the head reads a signal next. The controller controls the clock generator to generate a clock signal of the basic frequency before the head reaches the servo area based on the estimated position.
