Abstract

According to one embodiment, in a disk device, the head includes a first read element and a second read element. The disk medium is partitioned into a plurality of zones. The plurality of zones include a first zone and a second zone. The first zone includes a plurality of tracks on each of which a servo area and a data area are placed, a servo burst region in the servo area from which to detect the amount of off-track of the head from the center of a track, having a first bit length. The second zone includes a plurality of tracks on each of which a servo area and a data area are placed, a servo burst region in the servo area from which to detect the amount of off-track of the head from the center of a track, having a second bit length shorter than the first bit length.
