An optical disk device has a spindle motor for rotating a disk, an optical head for writing or retrieving data on the disk, a cooling fan for cooling the device, and a motor for rotating the cooling fan. In one embodiment, the device further has a controller for outputting a control signal for controlling the speed of the spindle motor and the cooling fan. In that embodiment, the device further has first and second drivers for adjusting the current supplied to the spindle motor and the cooling fan motor. In another embodiment, the cooling fan is rotated using the spindle motor, transferring power with a gear and a shaft. In both embodiments, the cooling fan rotates in proportion to, e.g., 1.25 times, the speed of the spindle motor.
