Abstract
A cover assembly of a hard disk drive is provided. The cover assembly includes a cover member with an edge portion protruding a predetermined height from an upper surface thereof, a damping plate disposed on the upper surface of the cover member, and a damper to absorb shocks applied to the edge portion of the cover member, the damper having a support portion disposed between a bottom surface of a border portion of the damping plate and the upper surface of the cover member to support the damping plate, and a protrusion extending upward from the support portion through a gap between the edge portion of the cover member and the damping plate. The protrusion of the damper may have a height that is higher than the edge portion of the cover member, whereby external shocks applied to the cover member are absorbed more efficiently by the protrusion of the damper so that a shock energy transferred to the hard disk drive is minimized.
