Hard disk drive utilizing second lubricant over a first lubricant having a phosophezine group

   
   

A recording element or a reproducing element in a head generates heat that decomposes lubricating agent adhered to a slider surface near the recording/reproducing element of the head. This decomposed lubricating agent leads to corrosion of the magnetic layer and the like of the magnetic disk. The lubricating agent undergoes volume expansion due to this corrosion, creating a protrusion on the magnetic disk surface to which the lubricating agent is adhered. The magnetic disk surface to which the lubricating agent is adhered comes into contact with the magnetic head, leading to friction with the protective layer, the magnetic layer, and the like. In the worst case, this can lead to secondary errors where data recorded on the magnetic layer is erased. To prevent such secondary errors, the present invention provides a hard disk drive including: a magnetic disk to which is applied a first lubricating agent formed as ##STR1## (where p=0 or an integer of at least 1, q=0 or an integer of at least 1, and X=1-5); and a mechanism for supplying a second lubricating agent to the magnetic disk having an average molecular weight of no more than 2,400 and no less than 600 and formed as HOCH.sub.2 CF.sub.2 (OC.sub.2 F.sub.4).sub.p (OCF.sub.2).sub.q OCF.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OH (where p=0 or an integer of at least 1 and q=0 or an integer of at least 1).
