A method for reducing wear for proximity recording in a magnetic disc storage system is provided. The method includes manufacturing a disc drive for proximity recording with a magnetic disc having a textured recording surface adjacent to a proximity recording head, and defining an idle fly zone on the recording surface which is less textured than other portions of the recording surface. The idle fly zone is generally defined by polishing or otherwise smoothing an area on the recording surface such that the proximity recording head can be moved to the idle fly zone during periods of inactivity so that contact between the magnetic disc and the proximity recording head during periods of inactivity is reduced. The idle fly zone can include two transition zones defined on each side of the idle fly zone to help transition flight of the proximity recording head from the textured area to the idle fly zone.
