Abstract
According to one embodiment, switching takes place between a first control in which a first read head is assigned as a master head for reading data from a magnetic disk on which a sequential write direction is reversed at a switching position where a skew angle of a write head becomes 0 and between an outer periphery and an inner periphery in shingled write recording, and a second read head is assigned as a slave head for reducing inter-track interference during reading of the data and noise by virtue of an effect of waveform averaging with respect to the master head, and a second control in which the second read head is assigned as the master head and the first read head is assigned as the slave head.
