A disk drive which can be used in particular under a low temperature environment is disclosed. The drive comprises a spindle motor (SPM) being a fluid dynamics bearing motor, and rotates a disk medium by the SPM. When an ambient temperature of the drive has changed to a low temperature, current consumption by the SPM increases to maintain steady rotation of the drive. When a CPU detects that current consumption by the SPM exceeds a specified value, the CPU restricts a current supplied to a voice coil motor (VCM) such that the total current amount does not exceed a specified maximum current capacity of the drive.
