Abstract
According to an embodiment, a controller of a magnetic disk apparatus moves a magnetic head to a first track being one of tracks on a magnetic disk. The controller acquires, in a servo sampling cycle, a positioning error amount of the magnetic head with respect to the first track. The controller executes an access to the first track by the magnetic head after a positioning error amount equal to or less than a first threshold is continuously acquired a first set number of times. The controller obtains a frequency estimation value by estimating a frequency of residual vibration of the magnetic head due to movement of the magnetic head to the first track and obtains an amplitude estimation value by estimating an amplitude of the residual vibration. The controller updates the first set number of times on the basis of the frequency estimation value and the amplitude estimation value.
