Patterned magnetic media with offset data and servo regions

摘要

A patterned magnetic media having offset servo and data regions. The media can be constructed by a method that allows both a data region and a servo region to be patterned without the patterning of one region adversely affecting the patterning of the other region. The method results in a patterned data region a patterned servo region and intermediate regions between the servo and data regions. The intermediate regions, which are most likely, but not necessarily, asymmetrical with one another indicate that the method has been used to pattern the media.

主权项

1. A patterned magnetic media, comprising:
first and second patterned data regions; a patterned servo region having first and second sides; a first intermediate region between the servo region and the first data region at the first side of the servo region; and a second intermediate region between servo region and the second data region at the second side of the servo region; wherein the first and second intermediate regions are asymmetrical with one another, one being wider than the other.
