Magnetic tape having characterized magnetic layer and magnetic tape device

A magnetic tape device comprising:

• a magnetic tape;
• a magnetic head;
• and
• a servo head, wherein
• the magnetic tape is a magnetic tape comprising:
• a non-magnetic support;
• a non-magnetic layer including non-magnetic powder and a binder on the non-magnetic support;
• and
• a magnetic layer including ferromagnetic powder and a binder on the non-magnetic layer,
• wherein the total thickness of the non-magnetic layer and the magnetic layer is equal to or smaller than 0.60 μm,
• the magnetic layer includes a timing-based servo pattern,
• one or more components selected from the group consisting of fatty acid and fatty acid amide are at least included in the magnetic layer, and
• a C—H derived C concentration calculated from a C—H peak area ratio of C1s spectra obtained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis performed on the surface of the magnetic layer at a photoelectron take-off angle of 10 degrees is equal to or greater than 45 atom %.
