MAGNETIC DISK AND MAGNETIC DISK APPARATUS USING THE SAME

摘要

In a CSS region of a magnetic disk, a means for setting the flying height of a magnetic slider in the CSS region higher than that in a data region is provided. The surface of the CSS region of the magnetic disk is rough. This prevents the attraction of the magnetic disk and the magnetic head slider to each other when the magnetic disk apparatus is stopped, and ensures the slide resistance of the CSS region. A magnetic disk apparatus mounted with such a magnetic disk has an excellent reliability and achieves a high recording density even when the flying height of the magnetic head slider is small.
