Embodiments in accordance with the present invention enable a disk drive of an address system to write data normally, wherein track groups of different track widths are discretely disposed on the storage medium in a same disk drive and the dimensional relationship among physical block addresses of a sector is valid for the dimensional relationship among logical block addresses. Track groups are managed corresponding to their respective track width in a disk drive and for disposing successively in a logical block address space the respective track groups located discretely on the physical block address space.
Abstract:
A thermally assisted magnetic recording system is provided to achieve excellent thermal resistance and low noise. In one embodiment, a magnetic recording medium is used, in which the magnetic intergrain exchange coupling is large to let the magnetization be thermally stable by coupling the magnetic grains constituting the recording layer at room temperature (the temperature maintaining the magnetization) and reduced by heating during recording to let the recording magnetization transition slope become steep. Parameter A normalizing the slope around the coercivity of the MH-loop of the medium is 1.5≦A

Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention help to protect user data in its entirety from any unauthorized access, by making encryption key data used to encrypt the user data not available for reading, when a user having an authorized access right does not access an information recording medium for a predetermined length of time. According to one embodiment, through use of a magnetic disk in which a data losing time of an encryption key data recording area is shorter than a data losing time in a user data recording area, recording is performed to the magnetic disk while encrypting user data during recording, and encryption key data for use with encryption is recorded in the encryption data recording area. For reproduction of the user data by a user having an authorized access right, the encryption key data is read from the encryption key data recording area, and the user data encrypted during the recording is output while being decrypted using an encryption key generated by the encryption key data, and the encryption key data is overwritten on the encryption key data recording area.

Abstract:
Recording information is disclosed in which an information recording medium is irradiated with a recording energy beam that is power-modulated into at least a record power level and a record-ready power level lower than the record power level. The information is recorded on the recording medium in the form of length and interval of a mark portion. When forming a mark portion of a predetermined length, the radiation energy of the energy beam is increased as compared with when forming a mark portion of a different length before or after the first pulse of an energy beam pulse train including at least a pulse for forming the mark portion.

The radiation energy is increased and/or decreased.
