SERVO PATTERN RECORDING METHOD, SERVO PATTERN RECORDING DEVICE, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING TAPE-LIKE MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM, AND TAPE-LIKE MAGNETIC RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

To provide a servo pattern recording method capable of easily accommodating increase of data bands.SOLUTION: In a servo pattern recording method according to one embodiment of the present invention, a servo pattern is recorded on a tape-like magnetic recording medium comprising a magnetic layer having five or more servo bands. The method comprises: determining at least three first servo bands for recording first servo band identification information comprising multiple bits, and at least two second servo bands for recording second servo band identification information comprising multiple bits differing from the first servo band identification information; and recording the first servo band identification information and the second servo band identification information in the same phase in the first servo bands and the second servo bands, respectively.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
