ABSTRACT:
A floating head slider includes a slider main body and a read/write element. The slider main body has an air bearing surface opposing a magnetic disk and a plurality of rails which are formed on the air bearing surface in an air flow-in direction and is in contact with the magnetic disk in a non-floating state. The air bearing surface receives an air flow generated by rotation of the magnetic disk, thereby causing the slider main body to float from a magnetic disk surface. The read/write element is formed in the slider substantially parallelly to the air bearing surface and has a front gap portion, bent to be formed at an air flow trailing edge portion of the air bearing surface, for electromagnetically reading/writing information.
