Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a magnetic recording medium comprising a ferromagnetic metal thin film as a magnetic recording layer on a non-magnetic flexible support, in which the surface roughness of the support is 0.10 μm or less and the period of the surface roughness is v/10 6 μm or less where v represents a relative speed between a magnetic head and magnetic recording medium by μm/sec. In the case of providing an undercoated layer between the magnetic recording layer and non-magnetic flexible support, the surface roughness of the undercoated layer is adjusted to 0.10 μm or less and the period of the surface roughness is adjusted to v/10 6 μm or less.
