Abstract
Increased memory capacity for a magnetic disk device is realized without degrading information error rate, by making the number of sectors at a given circumference of the disk variable in accordance with a radial direction of a disk. The number of sectors is made variable by deciding a predetermined information error rate from a ratio of reproduced signal output to noises of head, disk and amplifier at a maximum recording and reproducing frequency at a certain radial position along a disk.
