Abstract
Buffer materialsand a lower principal surfaceof a hard disk case, and the buffer materialsand a hard disk drive, are adhesively fixed to each other by strong pressure-sensitive adhesive forces. Pressure-sensitive adhesive materialsare provided between the hard disk driveand an upper principal surfaceof the hard disk case. The pressure-sensitive adhesive force of each pressure-sensitive adhesive materialis weak to such a degree that the pressure-sensitive adhesive materialbecomes detached by a contraction force of each buffer material. Thus, when external disturbance is applied to the hard disk drive, each pressure-sensitive adhesive materialbecomes detached during contraction of each buffer material. The contraction of each buffer materialand the detachment of each pressure-sensitive adhesive materialallow improvement of the impact resistance of the hard disk drive
