ABSTRACT:
A disk drive having vibration dampening elements and a method for dampening vibrations in disk drives. The disk drive includes a pivot assembly rotatably supporting an actuator assembly and a motor for rotating one or more disk-like recording media. One or more components of the pivot assembly and/or the motor have a rubber-like material molded to a portion thereof. The rubber-like material acts to reduce vibrations within the disk drive.
