ABSTRACT:
A magnetic disk for writing and reading information by a contact reading method comprises a plurality of asperities upon the surface of the disk. For extending the life of the disk by reducing wear, the plurality of asperities are fabricated such that the average radius of curvature of the plurality of asperities is greater than one thousand times the maximum height of the plurality of asperities on the surface. This ratio between the radius of curvature of the asperities and the surface relief of the asperities ensures a smooth surface and an extended wear life for the magnetic disk.
