Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk device includes a disk that has a track including a first servo sector and a second servo sector that is different from the first servo sector, a head that writes data to the disk and reads data from the disk, and a controller that records first signal strength record data related to a signal strength at which first target servo data that is a target of the first servo sector is read, and standardizes first signal strength data related to a signal strength at which the first target servo data is read when the first target servo data is read.
