Abstract
Provided is a data storage device in which read and write heads can be desirably located with respect to servo tracks from the viewpoint of linearity of a PES on the premise that a read write offset exists. A read write offset value, which is a deviation amount between write and read heads in a radial direction of a disk-shaped storage medium, is set equivalent to an integer number N of servo tracks.
