ABSTRACT:
In a magnetic disk drive, a shock absorbing device has recesses formed in the base of the disk drive, and elastic shock absorbing members respectively fitted in the recesses. In an unstressed position, the highest point or apex of each shock absorbing member is higher than a mount face in which the recess is formed. A suitable gap exists between the outer periphery of the shock absorbing member and the inner periphery of the recess. When the base of the disk drive is affixed to the housing of a system body, the shock absorbing member is deformed and is fully received in the recess because of the gap. When the disk drive is caused to fall down by accident, the shock absorbing device reduces the impact to be imparted to mechanisms mounted on the base.
