Summary:Provided in a disk drive of a perpendicular magnetic recording system is a data channel to execute signal processing suited to the characteristics of either servo data signals or user data signals read from a disk. This data channel decodes data by executing PRML signal processing of positive coefficient PR equalization for data signals of vertical rectangular waveform in the read signals read by a read head from the disk. The data channel converts servo signals of vertical rectangular waveform into differentiated waveform signals, and reproduces servo data from the differentiated waveform signals.
