Abstract

A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk, a head, and control circuitry comprising a servo control system operable to actuate the head over the disk. A vibration signal VS(k) is measured representing a disturbance in the servo control system. A first future value of the vibration signal VS(k) is predicted based on:VS1(k+1)=α1[VS(k)−VS(k−1)]+VS(k)where α1 is a first scalar corresponding to a first frequency range. A second future value of the vibration signal VS(k) is predicted based on:VS2(k+1)=α2[VS(k)−VS(k−1)]+VS(k)where α2 is a second scalar corresponding to a second frequency range different from the first frequency range.
