A disk drive includes a drive housing, a storage disk and a slider. The
slider includes a head that magnetically interacts with the storage disk.
Further, the slider includes a slider mover that moves a portion of the
slider to adjust a head-to-disk spacing during operation of the disk
drive. In one embodiment, the slider mover is formed from a material
having a thermal coefficient of resistivity that is less than
approximately 0.001/.degree. C., such as a copper-manganese alloy, a
copper-tin alloy or a gold alloy. The slider mover can be formed from a
material having a negative thermal coefficient of resistivity. Further,
the slider mover can be formed from a material having a resistivity that
is less than approximately 15 microohm-centimeters. Additionally, the
slider mover can be formed from a material having a melting point that is
greater than approximately 750.degree. C. The disk drive can include a
drive circuitry and a lead that conducts electricity between the slider
mover and the drive circuitry. The lead can be formed from substantially
the same materials as the slider mover.
