再生出力が得られ難い傾向にある。However, the peripheral velocity at each position in the radial direction of the rotating magnetic disk inevitably becomes higher from the inner peripheral portion toward the outer peripheral portion, and on the magnetic disk in proportion to the change of the peripheral velocity. Since the flying distance of the flying magnetic head also increases from the inner peripheral portion to the outer peripheral portion of the magnetic disk, it tends to be difficult to obtain uniform high-density recording and high reproduction output over the entire disk surface.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention minimizes the change in the recording / reproducing characteristics due to the difference in the flying height of the magnetic head between the inner peripheral portion and the outer peripheral portion of the magnetic disk, and provides an excellent high performance over the entire surface of the disk. It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel magnetic disk capable of obtaining high density recording and high reproduction output, and a magnetic disk device using the same.
