Abstract
A head slider supporting a read/write head for recording and reproducing information is disposed above a disk, i.e., an information recording medium. The head slider has on its surface facing the disk at least two transversely elongate dynamic pressure generating parts formed with their longer sides extended substantially perpendicularly to the rotating direction of the disk and arranged one behind the other in the rotating direction. The front dynamic pressure generating part is provided with a land of a length in the rotating direction of the disk greater than 10% and smaller than 50%. The land protrudes toward the disk and has a shoulder.
