<p>A magnetic disk unit includes a magnetic disk (3) attached to a spindle so as to be rotatable, a slider (1) having a magnetic head (13) for reading/ writing data onto/from the magnetic disk, a suspension (2) for providing the slider with a predetermined load, and an actuator arm for positioning the slider attached to the suspension on the magnetic disk. A first pad (14) including the magnetic head (13) and second pads (15, 16, 17, 18) including no magnetic heads are disposed on an air bearing surface of the slider (1). During rotation of said magnetic disk, a part of the first pad (14) keeps in contact with the magnetic disk (3). A load point (A) of the suspension (2) with respect to the slider (1) is positioned between a leading edge of the slider and a position located at a distance equivalent to substantially 0.42 times a whole length of the slider from the leading edge of the slider. <IMAGE></p> |
