ABSTRACT:
A disk drive assembly enclosed in a housing, having a head disk assembly including a spindle, disks axially attached to the spindle, a driving motor for rotating the spindle, a read/write head, and a carriage assembly including a positioning arm, slider mechanism and a actuator/suspension mechanism. The slider mechanism is slidably attached to the positioning arm and the actuator suspension mechanism is attached to the positioning arm. The read/write head for reading or writing information to the disks is attached to the head positioning assembly at the slider mechanism. A fairing is attached to the positioning arm. The head positioning assembly is enclosed within the skimmer structure. The skimmer structure has a plurality of slots for receiving the disks of the disk pack. As the disks of the disk pack pass through the slots of the skimmer structure air is stripped away from the disks.
