A spindle sync control system for a plurality of magnetic disk drives connected in parallel to a host computer. The system is capable of reducing lost time and preventing a system from going down. The system includes a discriminator (25A) for discriminating the presence or absence of a reference index, a medium index and a Hall index; an offset calculator (25B) for calculating an offset value between the medium, index and Hall index before starting spindle sync control; a memory means (26) for storing the thus calculated offset value; a phase difference calculator means (25C) for calculating a phase difference between the reference index and the medium index; and a determination means (25D) for determining a driving control value for rotating a spindle motor (7) according to the thus calculated phase difference. <IMAGE> |
