Abstract

According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk includes a plurality of tracks each having a plurality of servo frames with servo burst data and repeatable runout correction data written thereto. The repeatable runout correction data includes a pattern repeated at a predetermined period and is written so that beginning of write is delayed by a time corresponding to a correction amount with respect to a base point corresponding to a synchronization timing position in the servo frame. A detector detects a phase delay amount corresponding to a time elapsed until the repeated pattern is read from the servo frame by a magnetic head, with respect to the synchronization timing position.
