According to one embodiment, a servo write module is configured to write radial servo patterns on the disk media using a first spiral servo pattern of the spiral servo patterns as a base pattern for tracing, to detect a shift amount of a sync mark position in each of other spiral servo patterns with respect to a sync mark position in the first spiral servo pattern, and to adjust, when the base pattern is switched from the first spiral servo pattern to a second spiral servo pattern of the spiral servo patterns, a phase of the servo write clock based on the detected shift amount corresponding to the second spiral servo pattern.
