Magnetic recording device, magnetic recording method and magnetic recording medium for shingle write scheme

A magnetic recording method, comprising steps of:

• rotating a magnetic recording medium configured for a shingle write scheme, the magnetic recording medium having a plurality of data recording blocks, each of which is formed with a plurality of write tracks and separated, in a write track width direction, from neighboring one of the data recording blocks with a writing exudation suppression section in between;
• and
• applying a recording magnetic field from a magnetic pole of a magnetic write head flying over the magnetic recording medium to the magnetic recording medium, so that a process of writing data onto the write tracks one after another in a desired one of the data recording blocks is perform as a unit, while allowing the magnetic write head to move across the write tracks in a one-way travel along the write track width direction, the magnetic pole being aligned to overlap a part of an immediate recorded region, thereby to perform a data-overwriting on the part of the immediate recorded region, and the magnetic pole being aligned to overlap a part of the writing exudation suppression section, when performing a writing on a final write track in the desired data recording block.
