A device comprises a fluid bearing including a textured fluid bearing
surface and a second surface and a recordable disc. The recordable disc
includes a substrate, a recordable media layer on the substrate, and at
least one of the textured fluid bearing surface and the second surface.
The device may be manufactured using MEMS techniques. MEMS techniques
provide the high precision necessary to create the textured fluid bearing
surface. MEMS techniques also allow the recordable disc to be
batch-fabricated with one or more additional recordable discs.
