A method for improving servo seek settling performance by selectively activating a gain enhancement control signal during settling. As an actuator approaches a target location, absolute position and velocity of the read/write transducer head are monitored. If the absolute position changes absolute values (positive to negative or vice-versa) or the velocity approaches zero, the gain enhancement control signal is activated and combined with a nominal actuator control signal to further urge the actuator towards the target location. The gain enhancement control signal decays exponentially so as not to excite mechanical resonance of the actuator arms.
