Abstract
A thermal-assisted magnetic storage device includes a magnetic recording media of a transparent material, a first marker of a material that is optically singular compared with materials therearound, and a magnetic head disposed on a magnetic head slider facing a recording surface of the magnetic recording media. A light-beam pickup faces the other surface of the magnetic recording media, so as to emit light therefrom to the surface of the magnetic recording media. A second marker is disposed on the magnetic head slider for roughly guiding the light to the first marker. An alignment between the light and the magnetic head is performed in accordance with the light reflected from the first marker.
