ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for reducing impact upon a hard disk assembly in a hard disk drive includes: an upper frame, a lower frame, slots arcuately formed within corners of the upper frame and the lower frame, and elastic elements for buffering the hard disk assembly from impact. Each one of the elastic elements has a hole formed at a center portion and is inserted into the slots formed in the corners of the upper frame and the lower frame. Contact surfaces and arcuate recesses are provided at upper and lower portions of the corners of the hard disk assembly to accommodate installation of the elastic elements. A fastener attaches the elastic elements, the hard disk assembly, the upper frame and the lower frame together such that neither the upper frame nor the lower frame contacts the hard disk assembly.
