Patent ID: 11348604

Abstract:
The magnetic recording and reproducing device includes a magnetic recording medium, a recording element, and a reproducing element. The recording element is an inductive recording element having a first magnetic pole which generates a magnetic field, and a second magnetic pole which is spaced apart from the first magnetic pole with a write gap interposed therebetween, a tip width of the first magnetic pole is substantially the same as a tip width of the second magnetic pole, and a reproducing element width of the reproducing element is 0.5 μm to 0.8 μm. The magnetic recording medium has a non-magnetic support, and a magnetic layer containing a ferromagnetic powder, and the number of recesses, which are present in a surface of the magnetic layer and have an equivalent circle diameter of 0.20 μm to 0.50 μm, is 10 to 500 per area of 40 μm×40 μm.
