Abstract

According to one embodiment, a disk device includes a load beam, a first protrusion, a flexure, a slider, and a second element. The first protrusion protrudes from the load beam away from a rotation axis in a first direction. The flexure includes a mounting part supported by the first protrusion. The slider is mounted on the mounting part, and includes a first element that reads and writes information from and to a magnetic disk, and a floating surface facing the magnetic disk. The second element is attached to the slider apart from a geometric center of the floating surface in the first direction. On a projection plane as viewed in a direction orthogonal to the floating surface, a contact position between the first protrusion and the mounting part is located between a geometric center of the slider and a center of gravity of the second element.
