Conventional small disk drives use text
ured platter surfaces and a relatively large flying height for the read/write heads. Surface irregularities are deliberate: They help create pockets of air that help prevent the drive head from sticking upon spin-up and take-off from the platter, but they also force the head to fly higher.

Dynamic head loading features highly polished recording media combined with a specialized head to eliminate contact between heads and recording media and to allow lower flying heads. Head tilt angle is also reduced, minimizing the possibility of head-corner contact with the platter.
