Apparatus of magnetic disc

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to further improve a recording density in a magnetic disk apparatus using a shingle write system. In a magnetic disk apparatus including a magnetic disk, a recording head that writes information on the magnetic disk, and a controller that controls a writing operation of the recording head to the magnetic disk, the controller controls the writing operation such that the recording head writes information on a region including a target track and a portion of track adjacent thereto in an overlapping manner while position-shifting in a radial direction of the magnetic disk and a first writing frequency to a track on which information is last written is higher than a second writing frequency to another track.
