| Summary: | Under the present invention, a contaminant capturing material is positioned within a disk drive. Specifically, the contaminant capturing material is positioned on a suspension, adjacent a slider that hovers proximate a disk within the disk drive when the disk is in rotation. The contaminant capturing material will prevent contaminants from contacting the disk and thereby causing damage. In addition, a set of porous, open celled filters that are coated with the contaminant capturing material can also be provided. If used, the open celled filters are positioned adjacent the disk within an air stream created by a rotation of the disk. |
