A magnetic recording media has a magnetic layer formed on a substrate and
includes data regions including a magnetic pattern constituting a
recoding track and servo regions including magnetic patterns used as
address bits, the data regions and the servo regions being contained in a
plane of the magnetic layer. In a case where two magnetic patterns used
as address bits on the servo regions corresponding to two adjacent
recording tracks are arranged in such a manner that one corner of one of
the magnetic patterns is closest to one corner of the other, the corners
of the two magnetic patterns are substantially joined together.
