Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk drive includes a notch filter, a parameter storage unit and a computation unit, when the sampling period changes from a first sampling period to a second sampling period, the computation unit computes a damping ratio parameter related to the damping ratio in a second set of parameters at the second sampling period, based on a first absolute value at a first angular frequency of a first transfer function computed from a first set of parameters at the first sampling period and a second absolute value at the first angular frequency of a second transfer function computed from the first set of parameters at the second sampling period, and the notch filter is set with the second set of parameters at the second sampling period is computed.
