A hard disk device is provided. The hard disk device comprises, in a housing having a base, a hard disk rotating at a high speed, a carriage having a head slider on one end thereof, a magnetic circuit causing the carriage to revolve back and forth alternately around an axis, and a shroud member fixed on the base. The shroud member is a separate member from the base.

A closure seal for a storage device, such as a disk storage device, to block the flow of air into and out of the storage device. The storage device includes a base to support and contain mechanisms for accessing a storage medium, a cover to cover the base, and a single sheet closure seal to seal a boundary between the base and the cover, and to seal apertures in the base and cover. To prevent the formation of bubbles in the closure seal, at least one of the closure seal, the cover, and the surface to which the closure seal is affixed include at least one ventilation hole to release air during the operation of affixing the closure seal.

A magnetic disk apparatus including magnetic disks and a magnetic head assembly for access to the magnetic disks. The magnetic head assembly includes a head carriage having a hub and integral head arms, magnetic heads being carried by the head arms. A flexible printed circuit is attached to the side surface of the head carriage via a double sided pressure sensitive adhesive tape which provides a layer of elastomeric material to mitigate a deformation of the head carriage relative to the flexible printed circuit and the bearings supporting the head carriage to improve the off-track of the magnetic disks.
