A magnetic recording media includes a servo region including a preamble
region and a burst region and having marks of a magnetic film, and a data
region having discrete tracks of the magnetic film. The burst region
includes a signal section and a non-signal section, the signal section
including rectangular marks of the magnetic film, in-plane geometry of
which is a rectangle, formed in a periodic pattern in a track direction,
and the non-signal section including marks of the magnetic film having a
pattern different from the pattern of the rectangular marks in the signal
section.
