Abstract
According to one embodiment, multiple first positions are set in a radial direction of a magnetic disk. The multiple first positions include multiple second positions and a third position different from the multiple second positions. A controller of a magnetic disk apparatus executes a first process in which an RRO correction value is measured at each of the multiple second positions and measurement of an RRO correction value at the third position is skipped. After the first process, the controller executes a second process of performing write or read access to multiple tracks. The second process includes acquiring a position error signal by a read head during the write or read access, and calculating an RRO correction value for the third position based on the position error signal.
