In order to provide a suspension, a head suspension assembly, and a disk drive apparatus that can contribute to an increase of record and playback reliability, holes 3c in ribs 3b of the head suspension assembly 3 are provided. This design decreases the displacement of a head slider 2 that is caused by Karman vortex streets occurring near the ribs 3b in company with the rotation of the magnetic disk 1.
