An information storage medium with an array of laterally magnetised dots, as well as a process for producing this medium is disclosed. Each dot () contains at least one magnetic domain formed by a thin layer () of at least a magnetic material laterally covering this flat material and deposited at oblique incidence relative to the normal (z) to the plane () of the array. The invention applies in particular to computer hard drives.
