Servo data is stably written even if the flying height of a head/slider is varied. In one embodiment, a seamed pattern of servo data is written by a write head that is equipped in a head/slider. A variation pattern signal of the flying height in the circumferential direction of a magnetic disk is generated. The write head is located at a given position of the magnetic disk. The seamed pattern is written while controlling a recording current to flow in the write head on the basis of the variation pattern. At a constant recording current, a pattern length L 1 is shortened when a flying height H 1 is higher, and a pattern length L 2 is lengthened when a flying height H 2 is lower. The magnitude of the recording current is controlled according to the variation of the flying height, thereby making it possible to fall a pattern length L within a constant range, and accurately define the position of an edge of the seamed pattern.
