This invention relates to magnetic tape cassettes, magnetic tape drives, magnetic tape systems, and methods of operating the magnetic tape drive. The magnetic tape cassette includes: a housing for housing a magnetic tape; and a storage medium disposed within the housing. The magnetic tape pulled from the housing is used for at least one of reading and writing data via a plurality of magnetic elements arranged in a straight line. The arrangement direction of the plurality of magnetic elements is inclined along the entire length of the magnetic tape relative to its width direction. The storage medium stores tilt feature information representing the tilt of the arrangement direction relative to the width direction.

A storage device 100 comprises tape reel(s) (110) holding tape media for storing data, a head assembly (130), motor(s) (120, 125) configured to actuate the head assembly, a sealed casing, and a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) configured to control operations of the motor(s). The head assembly comprises a support structure, a head bar with read head(s) and write head(s), and a suspension system connecting the head bar to the support structure. The sealed casing encloses in its interior the tape reel(s), the head assembly, and the motor(s). Meanwhile, the PCBA is mounted on an external surface of the casing.
