Abstract
A housing includes a base plate and a metallic cover. The cover may be formed by deep-drawing. The housing accommodates, for example, a magnetic disk, a magnetic head, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism serves to displace the magnetic head with respect to the magnetic disk. When the cover is coupled to the base plate, a screw is screwed, penetrating the cover, into the tip end of the carriage axis for supporting a carriage. Vibration caused by swinging movement of the carriage is transmitted to the cover through the screw. A vibration absorber adhered to the outer surface of the cover is adapted to absorb the transmitted vibration. Noise may be suppressed in the seek operation.
