Apparatus of single write magnetic disc

1. A magnetic disk apparatus comprising:

a magnetic disk,

a recording head that writes information on the magnetic disk, and

a controller that controls a writing operation of the recording head to the magnetic disk, wherein

the controller controls the writing operation such that

1) the recording head writes information on a region, selected from a plurality of bands formed on the magnetic disk, each band being composed of a plurality of tracks formed along a radial direction of the magnetic disk, comprising a target track and a portion of an adjacent track thereto on the same band in an overlapping manner while position-shifting in the radial direction of the magnetic disk, and

2) the recording head writes at a first writing frequency to a track on which information is last written that is higher than a second writing frequency at which the recording head writes to the adjacent track on the same band.

2. The magnetic disk apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first writing frequency for the track is higher than the second writing frequency for the adjacent track, both tracks being on the same band, such that the plurality of tracks on the band have substantially equal signal to noise (S/N) ratios.

3. The magnetic disk apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the writing operation such that a writing frequency for information written to a track on a band positioned to be closer to an outside of the magnetic disk in the radial direction thereof is higher than a writing frequency for information written to a track on the band positioned to be closer to an inside of the magnetic disk in the radial direction thereof.

4. The magnetic disk apparatus according to claim 1 or claim 3 , wherein a width in the radial direction of the track on which information is last written is in a range of 1.2 times to 10 times a width in the radial direction of the adjacent track, and the first frequency is in a range of 1.1 times to 2 times the second frequency.

5. A magnetic disk apparatus that, when writing information on a magnetic disk, performs overlapping writing on a region including a target track and a portion of a track adjacent thereto while shifting the recording head in a radial direction of the magnetic disk, wherein

a plurality of bands is formed on the magnetic disk, each band being composed of a plurality of tracks formed along the radial direction of the magnetic disk, at least one band comprising one track having a width relatively wider in the radial direction of the magnetic disk than that of an adjacent track on the same band and a linear recording density of the one track is higher than that of the adjacent track.

6. A magnetic disk apparatus comprising:

a magnetic disk,

a recording head that writes information on the magnetic disk, and

a controller that controls a writing operation of the recording head to the magnetic disk, wherein

the controller controls the writing operation such that

1) the recording head writes information on a region, selected from a plurality of bands formed on the magnetic disk, each band being composed of a plurality of tracks formed along the radial direction of the magnetic disk, comprising a target track and a portion of an adjacent track thereto on the same band in an overlapping manner while position-shifting in a radial direction of the magnetic disk, and

2) the recording head writes at a first writing frequency to a track on which information is last written that is higher than a second writing frequency the recording head writes at to-the adjacent track on the same band,

wherein the track has a width relatively wider in the radial direction of the magnetic disk than the width of the adjacent track on the same band, and

wherein the controller selects between at least a first and a second writing frequency for writing on a selected track depending on whether overlapping writing to be performed on the track.
