Abstract
A magnetic disk drive capable of reducing the influence of a tension ascribable to the forming of a flexible printed circuit (FPC), which transfers the output signal of a magnetic head, on a carriage. The curved configuration and arrangement of the FPC are changed to minimize the tension ascribable to the FPC even when the carriage seeks the inner or outer peripheral portion of a magnetic disk.
