ABSTRACT:
A storage device configured to load and unload a head against a storage medium, includes a latch mechanism configured to latch the unloaded head, a head moving mechanism configured to move the head, a measuring part configured to measure an unlatch force necessary for unlatching the head latched by the latch mechanism, by applying a constant electrical current to the head mechanism so that the head is moved in a load direction, by measuring a back electromotive voltage, and calculating a moving speed and acceleration of the head, a storing part configured to store information indicating the measured unlatch force in the storage device, and a control part configured to apply a driving electrical current corresponding to the stored information to the head moving mechanism where the head is latched by the latch mechanism at the time of loading.
