ABSTRACT:
A magnetic disk drive includes an actuator arm, a suspension fixed to a tip end of the actuator arm, and a head slider having at least two electromagnetic transducers mounted at a tip end of the suspension. The head slider has a first electromagnetic transducer inclined in a direction in which the inner side face side is nearer to an air outflow end than a central portion thereof, and a second electromagnetic transducer inclined in a direction in which the outer side face side is nearer to the air outflow side than the central portion thereof. A controller performs changeover control such that an inner side data region of a magnetic disk is taken charge of by the first electromagnetic transducer while an outer side data region is taken charge of by the second electromagnetic transducer.
