Abstract
A transducer is moved in a seek operation from an initial track to a target track on a disk based on a current command. The current command is regulated based on a location of the transducer and a location of an addressed data block on the disk. The current command may be regulated so that the transducer settles on the target track a predetermined time before the addressed data block reaches the transducer.
