Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic disk apparatus includes a patterned disk, a slider, two read heads, a write head, and a drive circuit. The patterned disk has a magnetic recording surface on which bit patterns are arranged concentrically. The slider is located near the magnetic recording surface, and moves relatively to the magnetic recording surface. The read heads are arranged along a medium running direction at an end of the slider, and read magnetic data from the magnetic recording surface. The write head is located between the read heads, and records magnetic data to the bit patterns. The drive circuit drives the write head at a timing based on a period from when one of the read heads located upstream in the medium running direction reads magnetic data until the other located downstream reads the magnetic data at the same position on the magnetic recording surface.

Abstract: A thermally assisted magnetic recording method includes the following steps. The recording layer of a magnetic recording medium is irradiated with a laser beam to produce a locally heated region. This heated region is moved by causing the recording layer and the laser beam to move relative to each other. To record desired information, a recording magnetic field is applied to the heated region of the recording layer. The laser beam has a cross section elongated in the direction in which the heated region is moved.

Adjacent information tracks are separated by non-magnetic material. The track servo signal region includes a plurality of magnetic portions arranged in a track-extending direction and non-magnetic portions interposed between the magnetic portions. The user data region includes magnetic portions arranged in the track-extending direction. The coercive force of the magnetic portions in the track servo signal region is different from that of the magnetic portions in the user data region. For instance, the former coercive force is weaker than the latter coercive force.
