A read sensor that includes an unbalanced synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) free layer structure. The unbalanced SAF free layer structure includes a first magnetic layer having a first magnetic moment value and a second magnetic layer having a second magnetic moment value that is different from the first magnetic moment value. A separation layer is included between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer are antiferromagnetically coupled.
