A nanoprobe-based heating apparatus includes a nanoprobe, a heating unit, a gap control unit, and a support unit. The nanoprobe has a tip forming at an end of the nanoprobe, and the tip applies heat to a magnetic recording bit of a recording medium. The heating unit heats the nanoprobe. The gap control unit controls a gap between the nanoprobe and the recording medium. The support unit supports the nanoprobe, the heating unit, and the gap control unit. The nanoprobe-based heating apparatus is installed at a magnetic recording head of a magnetic hard disk drive to be able to heat an ultra-fine region of a recording medium very rapidly by applying heat together with a magnetic field.
