ABSTRACT:
A slider comprises a slider body and a thin-film magnetic head element. The slider body has an air bearing surface, an air inflow end, and an air outflow end. The air bearing surface has: a first surface including two portions that extend in a direction of air passage; a second surface including a portion that extends in the direction of air passage, the portion of the second surface being disposed between the two portions of the first surface; a third surface that is located closer to the air outflow end than the first surface is; and a border part located between the first and third surfaces. The first surface and the second surface have such a difference in level that the second surface is located farther from the recording medium than the first surface is. This difference in level varies gradually so as to increase with decreasing distance from the air outflow end.
