Abstract

Address groups are composed of two of address blocks 16, 17, 18, and 19, where the address blocks 16, 17, 18, and 19 are disposed in a sector address region 5 and include identifiable information of address numbers 13 and overlapping sequential numbers 14. The address groups are disposed so that each group is alternately shifted from a track center 2 toward the inner periphery side or the outer periphery side, by a width substantially equal to half the track pitch, along the radius direction.
