ABSTRACT:
A ramp loading apparatus for a disc drive having a disc with a data recording surface and a controllably moveable actuator arm supporting a read/write head adjacent the data recording surface, the ramp loading apparatus having a body forming a loading ramp and a ramp stiffener attached thereto. The body has a loading tab channel associated with the lift ramp so that the read/write head can be lifted from the data recording surface of the disc during its non-operating mode. Radially extending disc snubbers extend over the outer perimeter of the disc to reduce deflection of the disc caused by the application of mechanical shock to the disc drive.
