A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk, a head actuated over the disk, a host interface for receiving disk access commands from a host, a command queue for queuing the disk access commands, and a stream detection engine for evaluating the disk access commands to detect a plurality of streams accessed by the host. The stream detection engine maintains a stream data structure for each detected stream, wherein the stream data structure comprises a frequency counter for tracking a number of disk access commands associated with the stream out of a predetermined number of consecutive disk access commands received from the host. A disk controller selects one of the streams for servicing in response to the frequency counters.
