A slider for flying along a recording surface and carrying a recording head (19,20) for recording data, comprising an air bearing region (12,14) to create a positive pressure region tending to support the slider, and a negative pressure region (21) tending to hold the slider close to the recording surface, with buffer pads (27,28) and grooves (25,26) between the positive and negative pressure regions to create a neutral pressure zone separation.
