Abstract
Provided is a method and apparatus for adaptively controlling the timing of servo pulses in a disk drive in consideration of the amount of spindle jitter generated when a disk rotation speed is changed. The method of controlling the timing of a sector pulse for write operation includes: measuring a spindle jitter value in a data write mode; generating a timing correction value of a sector pulse, which indicates a position of a sector where data is written, according to the measured spindle jitter value; and generating a sector pulse by reflecting the timing correction value of the sector pulse.
