A slider including air bearing surface with Flying height On-Demand (FOD) protrusion with method of controlling airflow to maximize FOD efficiency as ratio of change in vertical position to protrusion height. Slider including components controlling the air flow to maximize FOD efficiency and/or including specific components minimizing an air bearing pressure under a Flying height On Demand (FOD) operation away from a maximum air bearing pressure, placing a peak pressure off of an FOD area create by a FOD protrusion, and shrinking a high peak pressure area of the air bearing surface. Hard disk drive includes head stack assembly, which includes head gimbal assembly, which includes the slider. Manufacturing method for slider, head gimbal assembly, head stack assembly and hard disk drive, and these items as products of these processes. |
