Abstract
A magnetic disk device according to an embodiment includes a head and a disk with a recording surface, the head including a reader configured to perform data reading, and a writer configured to write data. A method of correcting a read/write offset, according to the embodiment, is applied to the above magnetic disk device. This method includes reconstructing position data read by the reader, using a spline function, and correcting a read/write offset due to the distance between the writer and the reader, using the reconstructed position data.
