    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disk drive device, a load/unload device and its control method performing stable speed control and improving reliability in data. SOLUTION: The disk drive device 10 is provided with a VCM(voice coil motor) spindle driver 12 rotation driving a disk 11, a magnetic head 13, an actuator mechanism 14 moving a head slider having the magnetic head 13 over the magnetic disk 11 surface and to a retreat position, a lamp block 15 and a CPU/HDC (hard disk controller) 16 controlling a speed of an actuator, controlling calibration detecting offset and dynamic range of an AD(analog/digital) converter prior to this speed control and controlling operation such as read-out/ write-in, etc., of data for the disk 11. Then, the device 10 increases a rectangular current value applied to a voice coil while successively changing a code, and measures the offset from the value of the AD converter at every current value, and decides it is a nonlinear area when a difference between the expected value and the measured value of the AD converter becomes a prescribed value or above to measure the dynamic range.
