PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a spindle driving circuit of a disk drive unit handling a CLV type disk from overheating due to frequent seek in random-access. SOLUTION: A system controller 9 for the optical disk unit samples a spindle driving control voltage, saves an absolute value (spindle driving value) of a difference between the sampled value and a reference voltage, integrates the saved spindle driving values at every timer interruption of a predetermined period, and compares the integrated value with a preset threshold. The system controller 9 carries out a normal seek control in a seek enable mode with a servo circuit 7 by using a sled driving section 10 when the integrated value is smaller than the threshold, while halts seek operation for a predetermined period of time as a seek waiting mode when the integrated value is equal to or larger than the threshold. The seek waiting time can be variably set depending on temperature information in the unit from a temperature sensor 12. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
