Abstract
A slit openingis formed on a lower principal surfaceof a hard disk case, in the vicinity of the inner side of an angle part formed by a lower left lateral walland an opposing lower lateral wall. A hard disk driveis placed in the hard disk case. When the hard disk driveis subjected to vibration caused by disturbance on the hard disk case, elastic deformation of an angle partof the slit openingoccurs using an axisas a center to reduce vibration of the hard disk drive. Thus, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the hard disk case. With such a configuration, a hard disk case that is for housing an electronic component and that can have a small thickness can be provided.
