ABSTRACT:
A tape drive of the present invention records data on a tape having a plurality of servo bands, where a servo signal is recorded in advance along a longitudinal direction, and a data band containing a plurality of data tracks formed between each of the servo bands while tracking the tape, based on a servo signal: the tape drive comprises a tape running system for running the tape between two reels that can wind it; and a data recording head comprising a pair of servo read elements provided corresponding to the servo band, and data write elements provided plurally side by side between the pair of the servo read elements, wherein when recording the data, the tape drive writes a condition in recording, which is obtained by reading the servo signal with the servo read elements, in at least one of the data tracks with the data write elements.
