A disk drive recording apparatus includes an actuator arm with first and second heads extending from the actuator arm for writing and reading data to and from a first surface of a disk recording medium The first and second heads are spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction along the first surface of the disk recording medium. A switching device switches a data input/output path between the first head and the second head in response to a control signal. A microprocessor identifies a target position on the first surface of the disk recording medium and determines which one of the first and second heads is closer to the target position. The microprocessor then generates the control signal to switch the data input/output path to the first head when the first head is closer to the target position, and generates the control signal to switch the data input/output path to the second head when the second head is closer to the target position. The disk recording medium is preferably divided into three equally spaced intervals in the circumferential direction, and the first head is spaced apart from the second head by one of these intervals.
