The head supporting assembly comprises an actuator arm, a plurality of suspension arms, each having the magnetic head at one end thereof and connected to the actuator arm at the other end thereof, and a plurality of screws disposed through holes formed in the actuator arm and suspension arms for detachably connecting the suspension arms to the actuator arm. The screws are disposed in a staggered relationship with respect to each other in terms of the direction of access thereto and accessible for fastening and unfastening from two opposite sides in the direction substantially perpendicular to the disc surface. Each suspension arm can be attached to and detached from the actuator arm without the need of disassembly of the rest of the head supporting assembly.
