For supporting magnetic heads for data transfer with a stacked array of rigid magnetic disks, a unitary support structure is provided which is formed to include a row of ledges spaced from each other in a direction parallel to the axis of disk rotation. The ledges have defined therein one or more rows of mounting holes which are aligned in a direction parallel to the axis of disk rotation. Mounted to each ledge is a head/arm assembly including a load arm carrying a magnetic head on a distal end thereof. Proximally, each load arm is fastened to the ledge by one or more fastener elements such as screws matingly engaged in the mounting holes. A required number of head/arm assemblies can be successively mounted to the ledges of the support structure with use of a screwdriver or like tool inserted in and through the aligned mounting holes in the other ledges.
