Abstract
A vibration-reduced disk drive system is provided. The disk drive system comprises a reading device having a mechanism for high speed rotation of a data storage disk, and a weight body disposed adjacent to the reading device. The disk drive system also comprises at least one hanging device formed of a metallic material that joins the reading device and the weight body for transferring vibration therebetween. The disk drive system thus effects vibration dampening for the reading device and its housing, so as to preserve the stability of access to the data stored on the given data storage disk.
