Abstract

A disk drive is disclosed comprising control circuitry for generating a control signal applied to a VCM in response to a position error signal (PES) generated from reading embedded servo sectors and a feed-forward compensation value that compensates for a repeatable runout (RRO) disturbance. The feed-forward compensation value is generated for each servo sector in response to an RRO estimate Ŝ computed recursively for each servo sector according to:wherein: λ is a predetermined fraction;
