Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain the durability of a perpendicular magnetic recording medium and a magnetic head and suppress the deterioration of an output by specifying relationship between a distance between the magnetic recording medium and the magnetic head at the recording time and a distance between the magnetic recording medium and the magnetic head at the reproducing time. CONSTITUTION:A distance dw between the recording magnetic head 21 and a perpendicular magnetic anisotropic filw 11 of the magnetic recording medium is positioned smaller than distance dr between the reproducing magnetic head 24 and the perpendicular magnetic anisotropic film 11. Thus, by lowering the spacing at the recording time only, the durability can be kept in the same degree as in the case that the head is always floated up, and also almost the same output as in the case that the recording and reproducing are performed with the head and the medium in contact with each other can be secured.

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional hard disk, magnetic recording and reproduction are carried out in a non-contact manner by using an in-plane magnetic recording medium and a floating type magnetic head. The distance causes the output to decrease, and that decrease is related to the spacing d during playback.
-55 d / λ (dB) (d: distance between magnetic head and magnetic film surface of in-plane magnetic recording medium, λ: recording wavelength), and spacing d at the time of recording is considered to be less than that. It was Therefore, the spacing setting is always determined by the trade-off between the durability of the magnetic recording medium and the magnetic head when operating with the same spacing.
