(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] To ensure good electromagnetic conversion characteristics, Improve reliability. A magnetic recording medium having a two-layer structure in which a magnetic layer includes a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer is disclosed. Here, the Young's modulus of the first magnetic layer is 140 × 10 5 N / m 2- It is 160 × 10 5 N / m 2 , and the Young's modulus of the second magnetic layer is 45 × 10 5 N / m 2 to 50 × 10 5 N / m 2 . The specific surface area of the magnetic powder used for the first magnetic layer is 42 m 2 / G～46m a 2 / g, it preferably has a specific surface area of the magnetic powder used in the second magnetic layer is 32m 2 / g~35m 2 / g. |
