Abstract: A magnetic tape cartridge includes a case that accommodates a magnetic tape on which a plurality of servo bands and a plurality of data bands are formed, servo patterns being recorded in the servo bands, and a memory provided in the case. The memory stores servo pattern interval-related information related to a servo pattern interval determined for each of the plurality of data bands included in the magnetic tape. The servo pattern interval is commonly used for a plurality of division areas obtained by dividing the data band in a width direction of the magnetic tape, and is a representative interval between a first servo pattern and a second servo pattern.

Abstract: An aspect of the present invention relates to a magnetic head employed in a linear tape drive in the form of a sliding-contact linear tape drive. The magnetic head comprises multiple indentations that are observed in a surface topographic image viewed by a scanning probe microscope on a surface (sliding contact surface) of sliding contact with a magnetic tape, and the multiple indentations satisfy (1) to (4) below: (1) an average area of the indentations in the sliding contact surface ranges from about 0.2 ?m2 to about 1.0 ?m2; (2) a standard deviation of an area of the indentations ranges from about 0.5 ?m2 to about 2.0 ?m2; (3) an area ratio of the indentations in the sliding contact surface ranges from about 20 percent to about 50 percent; and (4) an average depth of the indentations is equal to or greater than about 15 nm.
