ABSTRACT:
A disk drive data storage device in which the space between adjacent disks is minimized. The disk drive comprises an actuator, a plurality of arm assemblies and at least two disks mounted on a spindle for rotation at a desired speed. Each arm assembly comprises an arm member, one end of which is integrally connected to the actuator and a head flexure assembly connected to the other end of said arm member. A pair of arm assemblies are positioned between each pair of disks with the arm assemblies lying in substantially the same horizontal plane but one arm assembly having a landing zone at the outside diameter of one of the disks and the other arm assembly having a landing zone at the inside diameter of the other one of the disks. The disk drive is assembled using a split baseplate with the actuator mounted on one portion of the baseplate and the spindle/disk assembly mounted on the other portion of the baseplate.
