ABSTRACT:
A magnetic disc storage apparatus including a magnetic head for reading information from a storage track on a magnetic storage disc driven to spin, a voice coil motor for moving the magnetic head above the disc, and a magnetic head drive system for executing a position control of the magnetic head by controlling driving current of the voice coil motor by a feedback control while monitoring a state of reading the magnetic head in which the magnetic head drive system includes multi-mode driving means for executing a linear drive mode for controlling, as an analog amount, the driving current of the voice coil motor when an amount of driving to move the magnetic head is small and executing a pulse drive mode for controlling, as a digital amount, the driving current of the voice coil motor when the amount of driving to move the magnetic head is large.By the invention, both of high accuracy formation of position control of the magnetic head in tracking and high speed formation of access by shortening seek time are enabled while effectively reducing heating or EMI inducing read/write error.
