hesela.devFlying height
Flying height is the physical clearance between a flying HDD head/slider region and the disk surface.
Specify the measurement location: clearance near the read/write element need not equal clearance elsewhere on the slider. Smaller recording spacing and avoidance of unintended contact impose competing constraints [1]. This is a length, not a SMART event count; no universal present-day nanometer value is assigned here.
