ABSTRACT:
A hard disk drive cover is constructed using plastic resin that is injection molded to form the cover. Increased dimensional precision is attained by using injection molded plastic methods. The plastic resin cover is able to attain the requisite rigidity needed to endure vibration by using an inserted reinforcing frame. The rigidity increases the ability of the hard disk drive to endure vibrations and other disturbances, while the decrease in weight, due to use of a plastic resin to form the cover, causes the resonance point to increase. This improves the vibrational characteristics of both the cover and the hard disk drive. Furthermore, the present invention reduces manufacturing costs by eliminating the need to machine the cover prior to assembly and also eliminating the need to apply a special anti-corrosive coating to the cover.
