ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a disk drive with a compact size that makes it possible to effectively utilize space within a disk drive and permits a straightforward layout of members.The disk drive comprises a disk holder10that has a plurality of holder plates11that individually hold disks D, a drive unit62that plays back disks D, disk selectors41A and41B that form a space above and below a desired disk D by raising and lowering the holder plates11, and a drive base60that moves the drive unit62into the space that is formed by raising and lowering the holder plates11. The opening amount of the disk holder10by the rise and fall of the holder plates11is fixed. The height of insertion of disk D into the disk holder10is on the upper side between the highest holder plate11and the lowest holder plate11when the disk holder10is open.
