Abstract: To improve the capacity and the performance of a disk drive device, the embodiment of the invention comprises the following features. A data track pitch is set to each recording surface. The recording surfaces are divided into bands. An HDD sequentially moves a head to an adjacent data track in a band and performs a head switch at the band end in its data accessing. On a recording surface, the number of data tracks in each band is variable; and each band is constituted by different number of data tracks as necessary. The number of data tracks in each band is set so that the radial position of the band end comes close to the radial position of the corresponding band end on another recording surface. Accordingly, even if the recording surfaces have different variation rates of the data track pitch in the radial direction, increase in process time due to head switches can be suppressed.
