Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a disk drive capable of reducing, by means of simple control, vibrations applied to the drive and vibrations occurring in the drive, and a control method for controlling the disk drive. In one embodiment, a servo system comprises a sensor unit for detecting vibrations, a correction signal generator for, when the sensor unit detects vibrations, generating a correction signal, a position error signal generator for generating a PES signal on the basis of servo data read out from a disk and a target position, a servo controller for generating a servo control signal for controlling a position of a head on the basis of the PES signal, and a servo controller for generating a driving signal on the basis of the correction signal and the servo control signal. The correction signal generator includes a plurality of filters, each of which eliminates vibrations in each different frequency band, the correction signal generator selecting one or two or more RV-FF filters when vibrations are detected, and then generating a correction signal so as to reduce a position error indicated by the PES signal.
