摘要:
A magnetic disk unit of form factor size with a low power consumption, a short average seek time and a high performance. The unit includes at least two spindles for supporting and rotating magnetic disks. Specifically, two 1.3-inch disks, three 1.0-inch disks or four 0.7-inch disks are arranged in a housing originally intended for a 1.8-inch magnetic disk. The unit further includes a device for writing and reading information while selecting a spindle. The card-type disk unit thus can be reduced in thickness, with a smaller power consumption for starting the disk rotation and further with an improved average seek velocity.

In a magnetic recording medium including an underlayer and a magnetic layer formed sequentially on a substrate, the underlayer is composed of a composite underlayer having an at least two-layered structure, the underlayer on the side of the substrate is made of a material providing low modulation to the magnetic recording medium while the underlayer on the side of the magnetic layer is made of a material providing a high S/N ratio to the medium. This makes it possible to obtain a magnetic recording medium having low modulation and high S/N ratio.

Herein disclosed is a thin film magnetic head which is so constructed that a conductor layer arranged in a non-magnetic insulating layer isolating two magnetic poles and adapted to form a coil of plural turns has a height made larger than the width and gap thereof. A method of fabricating that head includes the step of forming a non-magnetic insulating layer, the step of etching the insulating layer by using a mask layer formed thereover as a mask, the step of depositing a metal for providing a conductor layer, the step of removing the mask layer together with the metal thereover, and the step forming a coating of a non-magnetic insulating layer thereover, thereby to form the conductor layer. The head thus fabricated has its magnetic recording and reproducing characteristics improved.
