Abstract
A controller of a magnetic disk device executes an integration operation each time a magnetic head passes through a servo sector during a write operation for a write target section of a first track among a plurality of tracks, so long as a positioning error amount in a servo sector that was most recently passed through by the magnetic head is within a range of an error threshold. The integration operation includes calculating an integrated offset amount by adding up positioning error amounts in two or more servo sectors including at least the servo sector that was most recently passed through by the magnetic head among all servo sectors that were passed through by the magnetic head during the write operation. The controller executes a protection operation for protecting data of a second track adjacent to the first track among the plurality of tracks based on the integrated offset amount.
