A negative pressure air bearing type head slider is disclosed which is for use in a disk drive and has a head element mounted thereon for reading and writing data from and onto a disk. When loaded, this head slider generates a positive pressure and a negative pressure using inflow and outflow of air due to rotation of the disk, whereby the slider flies above the disk surface with a space therebetween. On the other hand, when the slider is unloaded and retreated from the disk surface, it has a sufficient flying height by virtue of its negative pressure minimizing structure.
