The present invention provides a data-recordable optical disk device. Test data is recorded in a predetermined area of an optical disk while varying recording power level, and an optimum recording power level is selected based on reproduced signal quality of the test data. When the optimum recording power level does not exceed an allowable recording power level of the laser diode, data is recorded at that optimum recording power level. When the optimum recording power level exceeds the allowable recording power level of the laser diode, the recording strategy is changed to a low-power strategy. A low-power strategy is, for example, a strategy having an increased recording pulse width compared to that of a standard strategy. An optimum recording power level is selected for the low-power strategy, and data is subsequently recorded.
