Abstract
A seek-information storing unit stores seek information including a correlation between a seek distance indicating a shift distance from a current track to a target track where a target frame for a data input/out is located and a seek time indicating a shifting time that takes for a head to shift from the current track to the target track, based on an actual measurement. A head-shift control unit controls a shift of the head based on an estimated time obtained by adding a rotational delay time that takes until the target frame arrives at the head position after the head arrives at the target track to the seek time acquired from the seek information.
