The black small things at the end of HGAs are called Sliders. In many sources you can find that sliders are claimed as actual heads but a slider itself is not a read/write head it's a wing that helps read and write elements fly above the platter's surface. Heads' flying height on modern HDDs is about 5-10 nanometers.

Present-day hard drives work near the ML-HL transition with a flying height between 5 and 20 nanometers (nm). An ideal head-disk interface would consist of a slider where 99.999% of the weight is supported by the aerodynamic pressure. However, by tolerances at the head-disk elements the control of the air bearing partition is limited.

A suspension assembly is a component of the hard disk drive (HDD) that positions the slider over the surface of a rapidly spinning disk.

Sliders are low-volume cubes/cuboids, made of ferrite, by which electric signal is transformed into magnetic recording -writing data or vice versa, by which magnetic recording is transformed into electric signal - reading data. Slider surface is aerodynamically designed so "air bearing" features can be used in the best way.

The clearance between slider and disk is a dominant factor dictating HDI reliability ( 70% of all failures). Insufficient clearance results in an increased

In this paper, we describe the following Head Disk Interface technologies: a Co-Axial Impact Collision Ion Scattering Spectroscopy technique for evaluating the coverage proper-ties of lubricants, technique for evaluating the coverage properties of the overcoats used on magnetic storage devices based on the Drop method, and a chemical treat-ment ...

Thermal flying-height control (TFC) sliders are currently used in most commercial hard disk drives (HDDs) as an approach to increase the HDD’s capacity and reliability. This paper reviews our recent numerical studies of TFC sliders’ flying performances, namely,

The technology of recording heads does not end with sliders. The sliders need to be mounted on a suspension into so called Head Gimbal Assembly (HGA) and Head Stack Assembly (HSA) in order to be integrated into HDDs. These assemblies require ultra-precise wire bonding and attachment processes, while making sure they are debris-free.
