Abstract
A disk drive is disclosed comprising a head and a disk comprising a plurality of servo tracks, wherein each servo track comprises a plurality of servo sectors. The disk drive further comprises control circuitry comprising a servo control system operable to actuate the head over the disk in response to the servo sectors. The disk is rotated at a first speed and the servo sectors are read at a first servo sample frequency to generate first servo samples. The disk is rotated at a second speed different from the first speed and the servo sectors are read at a second servo sample frequency to generate second servo samples. The second servo samples are processed to measure a frequency response of the servo control system proximate the first servo sample frequency.
