A disk device includes first and second recording surfaces, a first head for the first recording surface, including a first heater which generates heat via a first electric power, a second head for the second recording surface, including a second heater which generates heat via a second electric power, and a control circuit configured to execute a first preheating operation in which the first electric power is supplied to the first heater for a first time interval prior to starting a first writing process to write data on the first recording surface by the first head, and to execute a second preheating operation in which the second electric power is supplied to the second heater for a second time interval prior to starting a second writing process to write data on the second recording surface by the second head. The first time interval is different from the second time interval.
