Magnetic recording device having a improved slider

摘要

The invention relates to an improved high performance magnetic recording device. The recording device comprises a magnetic recording disk, a slider having a transducer for reading or writing data on the disk, a motor operable to rotate the disk at speeds greater than 7000 RPM and an actuator connected to the slider to move the slider across the disk. The trailing surface of the slider is coated with a low surface energy film to prevent build up of droplets of liquid contaminants.
