Abstract: Disc file data read/write head assembly has a slider (56) having an air bearing surface facing the data surface of the disc and a back surface which is attached to a suspension (42) which biases the slider in close proximity to the disc surface, in which the spacing between the slider (56) and suspension (42) is maintained by at least one solder bump (66). Also claimed is the method of controlling the spacing between the suspension and slider as described above and in which the slider is attached to the suspension by adhesive surrounding the solder bumps, and such a slider suspension arrangement in a magnetic disc data storage system.
