Magnetic record/reproduce apparatus for recording/reproducing large amounts of data at ultra-high speed using a perpendicular magnetic recording mode

摘要

The magnetic record/reproduce apparatus (10) for recording and reproducing large amounts of data at ultra-high-speed using a perpendicular magnetic recording mode, comprises: at least a cylinder (12) having a perpendicular magnetic recording layer provided on at least the inner or outer surface thereof; a plurality of magnetic heads (14) arranged to face the perpendicular magnetic recording layer of the cylinder (12); a rotating means (13) for rotating at least one of the cylinder (12) and the plurality of magnetic heads (14) in relation to the other; a linear driving means (16) for moving at least the cylinder (12) or the plurality of magnetic heads (14) along the axial direction of the cylinder (12); and a record/reproduce means for recording and/or reproducing data on the perpendicular magnetic recording layer (30). <IMAGE>
