A negative pressure air bearing slider includes a slider body for flying above a surface of a recording disc during relative rotation of the recording disc. First and second projections extend from a lead portion of a principal surface of the slider body to define first and second air
A pseudo contact NPAB head slider configured for supporting a transducer proximate to a rotating disc. The slider includes two side rails extending almost to the trailing edge and a central air bearing island at the trailing edge, which form air bearing surfaces that develop positive
A flying NPAB head slider configured for supporting a transducer proximate to a rotating disc. The slider includes two side rails extending from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the slider body, which form air bearing surfaces that develop positive lifting forces as the disc rota
