Embodiments in accordance with the present invention provide a disk drive and a control method in the disk drive which can obtain good recording performance by amplifying the write current according to the recording method and the recording frequency. A HDD in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention comprises a write current supply section and a write head. The write current supply section generates a write signal for recording to a disk and, based on the write current, generates a write current I.sub.W. The write head records data to the disk by the write current I.sub.W. The write current supply section comprises a write channel to generate a write signal, a write driver to generate a write current from the write signal, a high frequency pattern extracting circuit to extract high frequency pattern parts from the write signal, and a write driver to generate a write current I.sub.B from the extracted high frequency pattern parts. The write currents and are added up and supplied to the write head as the write current whose magnitude is amplified only when the frequency is high.
