MAGNETIC DISK DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk device which supplies, at the time of startup of data write or startup of data read, electric power higher than steady electric power used to make, in advance, spacing between a magnetic disk and a magnetic head become saturated at a target value to a heater of the magnetic head for a specified time and, after an elapse of the specified time, gradually reduces the electric power to be supplied to the heater of the magnetic head to the steady electric power.
Magnetic disk device having heater to adjust spacing between magnetic disk and magnetic head
