    Abstract: A recording and reproducing device includes: a first acquisition unit which acquires servo band interval information representing an interval, in a width direction of a magnetic tape, between adjacent servo recording elements of plural servo recording elements which record the servo patterns on the plural servo bands, respectively; a second acquisition unit which acquires reproducing element interval information representing an interval in the width direction between respective servo reproducing elements which read the adjacent servo patterns along the width direction with respect to the plural tape drives; and a selection unit which selects a tape drive into which the magnetic tape is inserted, from the plural tape drives, using a value representing a difference between the interval represented by the servo band interval information and the interval represented by the reproducing element interval information.

    Abstract: A magnetic tape includes a non-magnetic layer containing non-magnetic powder and a binder on a non-magnetic support; and a magnetic layer containing ferromagnetic powder and a binder on the non-magnetic layer. The total thickness of the non-magnetic layer and the magnetic layer is equal to or less than 0.60 μm. The magnetic layer includes a timing-based servo pattern. One or more components selected from a fatty acid and a fatty acid amide are included in at least the magnetic layer. The C—H derived C concentration calculated from the 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 %.
