A magnetic disk suitable for high density recording and reproduction of information wherein said disk is a coating type disk comprising a rigid substrate having a magnetic layer coated thereon from a magnetic coating composition of ferromagnetic submicron particles in a binder, wherein the substrate has a surface roughness Ra of up to 0.007 .mu.m, the magnetic layer has a thickness of up to 0.5 .mu.m, a surface roughness Ra of up to 0.005 .mu.m, and a porosity of 4 to 45%.

Magnetic disk

Information is magnetically recorded in and reproduced from a magnetic disk using a flying magnetic head. The disk is a coating type disk comprising a rigid substrate having a magnetic layer coated thereont from a magnetic coating composition of ferromagnetic submicron particles in a binder. High density recording is possible when the substrate has a surface roughness Ra of up to 0.007 .mu.m, the magnetic layer has a thickness of up to 0.5 .mu.m, a surface roughness Ra of up to 0.005 .mu.m, and a porosity of 4 to 45%.

Method for making a magnetic disk

Information is magnetically recorded in and reproduced from a magnetic disk using a flying magnetic head. The disk is a coating type disk comprising a rigid substrate having a magnetic layer coated thereon from a magnetic coating composition of ferromagnetic submicron particles in a binder. High density recording is possible when the magnetic layer having a coercive force of at least 1100 Oe and a thickness of up to 0.5 .mu.m is combined with the flying magnetic head whose gap adjoining portion is made of a soft magnetic material having a saturation magnetic flux density of at least 0.7 T.
