Abstract
In a disk device, a case includes a base frame and a top panel, which are made of thin metal plates. In the top panel, a corrugated section is formed to increase its rigidity. The corrugated section has peaks and valleys that are alternately arranged. The peaks and valleys extend in a direction orthogonal to a disk loading direction to the vicinity of both side ends of the top panel.
