Abstract
A data storage device having two distended and stretched magnetic media surfaces. The magnetic media has a backing which is distended when secured to a core body of the device. A shell surrounds the core body to further stretch the backing resulting in a flat and smooth surface. The flat and smooth surface of the backing is metal coated to form the magnetic media. The shell contains a metallic raceway which serves as a drive locator.
