ABSTRACT:
A magnetic storage system having an air bearing slider designed to minimize disk damage. The magnetic storage system may include a load/unload structure for loading or unloading the slider when the spindle motor is powered down. The air bearing slider includes an air bearing surface and at least one non-air bearing surface. For example, the non-air bearing surface may include a first etch surface and/or a second etch surface. The non-air bearing surface has at least one rounded corner. The non-air bearing surface may also have at least one rounded edge.
