The second suspension has a second base plate mounted to the arm. The arm with a through-hole includes a first surface, a second surface, and an inner surface. The through-hole is open to the first surface and the second surface. The inner surface defines the through-hole. The first base plate includes a first boss accommodated in the through-hole in contact with the inner surface. The second base plate includes a second boss accommodated in the through-hole in contact with the inner surface. The second boss is at least partly held between the inner surface and the first boss.

Disk device

According to one embodiment, a disk device includes magnetic disks, a spindle motor, and a housing. The magnetic disks are arranged in an axial direction. The spindle motor rotates the magnetic disks about a first rotation axis extending in the axial direction. The housing includes a first wall, an inner surface of the first wall, an outer surface of the first wall, and a second wall. The spindle motor is attached to the first wall. The first wall is apart from the magnetic disks in the axial direction. The second wall protrudes from the first wall and surrounds the plurality of magnetic disks in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction. In the axial direction a maximum distance between the inner surface and the outer surface is 1.5% or more and 8% or less of a maximum dimension of the housing.
