MAGNETIC DISK DEVICE
20250104740 · 2025-03-27 ·

A magnetic disk device according to one embodiment includes a base, five or more magnetic disks in the base, a head actuator, and a spindle motor. The base has a bottom wall having a second thickness and a side wall. The spindle motor includes a sleeve with a first hole, fixed to the bottom wall, a shaft inserted in the first hole rotatably, and a hub rotatable integrally with the shaft. The hub includes a first part, a second part extending from a lowermost surface of the first part in a first direction being from the magnetic disks toward the bottom wall, and a third part having a first thickness and extending from a lowermost surface of the second part in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. A value obtained by dividing the second thickness by the first thickness is greater than or equal to 1.89.
