Abstract

According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk device includes a disk including two first servo sectors and at least a second servo sector, a head, and a controller, wherein the first servo sector includes burst data and a first data pattern written before the circumferential direction of the burst data, the second servo sector includes the burst data, the first data pattern, and a second data pattern written after the circumferential direction of the burst data, a first frequency of the first data pattern is different from a second frequency of the second data pattern, and a first length of the first data pattern is different from a second length of the second data pattern.

Claims (24)

1. A magnetic disk device comprising:

a disk comprising two first servo sectors arranged side by side in a circumferential direction and at least a second servo sector located between the two first servo sectors;

a head that writes data to the disk and reads data from the disk; and

a controller that demodulates all data of the first servo sector and demodulates data of part of the second servo sector,

wherein the first servo sector comprises burst data and a first data pattern written before the circumferential direction of the burst data,

the second servo sector comprises the burst data, the first data pattern written before the circumferential direction of the burst data, and a second data pattern written after the circumferential direction of the burst data,

a first frequency of the first data pattern is different from a second frequency of the second data pattern,

a first length in the circumferential direction of the first data pattern is different from a second length in the circumferential direction of the second data pattern, and

the first data pattern comprises a preamble, and the first frequency is equal to a third frequency of the preamble.

2. The magnetic disk device according to claim 1 , wherein the second frequency corresponds to ½ of the third frequency and is equal to a fourth frequency of the burst data.

3. The magnetic disk device according to claim 1 , wherein the second length is equal to or larger than the sum of the reciprocal of the second frequency and twice the reciprocal of the third frequency.

4. The magnetic disk device according to claim 1 , wherein the first data pattern comprises a servo mark written after the preamble and a gray code written after the servo mark.

5. The magnetic disk device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller demodulates the first data pattern and the burst data in this order in the first servo sector, and demodulates the burst data and the second data pattern in this order in the second servo sector.

6. The magnetic disk device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller overwrites user data on the first data pattern of the second servo sector.

7. A magnetic disk device comprising:

a disk comprising two first servo sectors arranged side by side in a circumferential direction and at least a second servo sector located between the two first servo sectors;

a head that writes data to the disk and reads data from the disk; and

a controller that demodulates all data of the first servo sector and demodulates data of part of the second servo sector,

wherein the first servo sector comprises burst data and a first data pattern written before the circumferential direction of the burst data,

the second servo sector comprises the burst data, the first data pattern written before the circumferential direction of the burst data, and a second data pattern written after the circumferential direction of the burst data,

a first frequency of the first data pattern is different from a second frequency of the second data pattern,

a first length in the circumferential direction of the first data pattern is different from a second length in the circumferential direction of the second data pattern, and

the first servo sector comprises a third data pattern written after the circumferential direction of the burst data, a fifth frequency of the third data pattern is different from the second frequency of the second data pattern, and the third length in the circumferential direction of the third data pattern is different from the second length in the circumferential direction of the second data pattern.

8. The magnetic disk device according to claim 7 , wherein the second length is shorter than the third length.
