A noncontact storage medium that is mounted in a magnetic tape cartridge includes an IC chip that is connected to an antenna to be coupled to a communication destination by electromagnetic induction through a magnetic field applied from the communication destination, and performs communication with the communication destination through the magnetic field, and the IC chip corresponds a plurality of communication standards, and performs the communication selectively using the plurality of communication standards.

Provided is a magnetic tape cartridge including: a case in which a magnetic tape is accommodated; and a storage medium provided in the case, in which the storage medium stores tension allowable range related information regarding an allowable range of tension applied to the magnetic tape.

A magnetic tape cartridge includes a case in which a magnetic tape is accommodated and a storage medium provided in the case. At least one of reading or writing of data is performed by a plurality of magnetic elements, which are linearly disposed, with respect to the magnetic tape pulled out from the case. A disposition direction of the plurality of magnetic elements is tilted toward an entire length direction side of the magnetic tape with respect to a width direction of the magnetic tape. The storage medium stores tilt feature information indicating a feature of tilt of the disposition direction with respect to the width direction.
