The disc-facing surface includes a bearing plane and a recessed area recessed from the bearing plane. An end layer is attached to the trailing surface of the substrate. The end layer includes a bearing pad formed substantially solely on the end layer that is generally parallel to the bearing plane. The bearing pad is positioned adjacent to and rearward of the recessed area to receive fluid flow from the recessed area.
