Magnetic tape cartridge, magnetic tape drive, memory, magnetic tape, magnetic tape system, and operation method of magnetic tape drive

A magnetic tape drive comprising:

• a processor that is configured to execute processing for a magnetic tape cartridge;
• and
• an angle adjustment mechanism that is configured to adjust an angle of a magnetic head by applying power to the magnetic head,
• wherein the magnetic tape cartridge comprises:
• a magnetic tape, and
• a storage medium in which information on the magnetic tape is stored,
• wherein the magnetic tape has a recording surface, at which data is recorded by the magnetic head in a state in which the magnetic tape is made to travel,
• wherein angle adjustment information is stored in the storage medium,
• wherein the angle adjustment information is information for adjusting the angle at which the magnetic head is inclined with respect to a width direction along the recording surface at a data recording timing, which is a timing at which the data is recorded at the recording surface, and
• wherein the storage medium is a medium including a part of the magnetic tape, and
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• acquire the angle adjustment information from the part of the magnetic tape, and
• cause the angle adjustment mechanism to adjust the angle based on the angle adjustment information.
