<p>A magnetic disk drive unit includes sensitivity correcting circuitry (6,7) which offsets a data head (2) outwardly from an on-track position by a given distance (X1), reads first and second servo information (A,B) to provide signals (VA,VB), and detects a difference (V1) between the peak values of the signals. Also, the circuit offsets the data head inwardly from the on-track position by a given distance (X2), reads the first and second servo information (A,B) to provide signals (VA,VB), and detects a difference (V2) between the peak values of the signals (VA,VB). The circuit then computes a proportional coefficient K on the basis of the detected values (V1,V2), and, according to the computed proportional coefficient, determines an offset specific to the data head. The disk drive unit may also include an offset measuring circuit which comprises an offset detector (3) for detecting offsets of data heads relative to a servo head (34) according to servo information read by the data heads on data surfaces of the disk media; a measurement timing setting circuit (94) for instructing the offset detector (3) to start an offset detection process according to a predetermined time schedule; and an interrupter (95) for interrupting the offset detection process, if a command control section (14) of the unit decodes an access command such as a read or write command provided by a host unit (90), and then executing the access command first, whereafter the offset detection process is resumed after the access command is completed. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
