In a data recording system used for a magnetic disk drive, a write amplifier feeds a write head with a recording current that corresponds to the data to be recorded on the disk. A recording current controller selects a current value to be fed to the write head from the write amplifier according to the recording pattern detected by a pattern detection circuit. Thus, an effective recording track width can be selected without relying on the recording wavelength of the data to be recorded. Therefore, the influence of the cross talk from adjacently located tracks can be effectively reduced without unnecessarily reducing the recording track width.
