Abstract
A flying head slider for use in a hard disk drive includes a slider body having pair of parallel slider rails spaced from each other with a slider groove defined therebetween. A magnetic head is supported on one of the slider rails. The slider body also has a pair of control grooves disposed on one side of the slider rails, respectively, and extending therealong. The control grooves are shallower than the slider groove. The flying head slider floats off the surface of a hard disk stably by a low height over an entire disk surface range.
