Abstract
A disk storage in which a first dimension in which a disk is inserted/ejected a disk is approximately orthogonal to a second dimension in which a head seeks. A housing which accommodates a disk has an opening portion via which a head seeks a desired track on the disk. The opening portion is aligned in the second dimension. Since the head moves in the second dimension, it is not necessary to provide a space in the first dimension for moving the head. Therefore, the disk storage according to the present invention can be made thinner in the first dimension than the conventional disk storage in which the head moves through the opening portion in the first dimension.
