A protective member, which covers a sensor portion, is positioned on a slider so that this sensor portion is in close proximity to the slider flying surface. Furthermore, a step is formed on the surface of this slider on the side opposite the flying surface at a location separated from the protective member. Then, an actuator is either mounted on the flat portion which was made thin by the formation of the step, or an actuator is stored and affixed within a slot created in line with the formation of the step. Furthermore, a suspension is bonded to a surface of this actuator on the side opposite the slider, and a head assembly is configured.
