A flexbeam (30) for a hard disk drive (10) that complies with the PCMCIA specifications. The flexbeam has a magnetic head (22) mounted at a first end and a second end coupled to a voice coil motor assembly (28). Extending from each side of the flexbeam is a wall (44) which runs along a portion of the beam. The walls increase the stiffness of the flexbeam, so that the beam is not damaged when the disk drive is subjected to a shock load. The portion of the flexbeam that does not have the walls is flexible enough to allow the beam to deflect when an air bearing is formed between the magnetic head and a rotating disk. The flexbeam also has a C shaped slot that allows the head to pivot about the beam.
