Magnetic disk cartridge and magnetic disk drive

摘要

The invention provides a magnetic disk cartridge and associated magnetic disk drive capable of performing high-speed read/write operations on the magnetic disk medium of the cartridge. The housing of the disk cartridge is provided with two magnetic head insertion sections (openings), one on the left and the other on the right for exposing portions of a magnetic disk medium to permit access to the medium by two magnetic read/write heads of the two read/write sections of the magnetic disk drive, disposed in the corresponding locations to the magnetic head insertion sections. In performing read/write operations on the magnetic disk medium, the two read/write sections perform read/write operations in parallel to increase the data transfer rate.
