Abstract

This magnetic disk device is a 3.5-inch magnetic disk device equipped with magnetic disks formed from an aluminum alloy substrate. The magnetic disks arranged in a stacked manner have a thickness Td of 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm, the number N of magnetic disks involved is 10 to 16, and spacers disposed between the magnetic disks have an outside diameter 2 Rso of 35 mm to 65 mm. The outside diameter 2 Rso (mm) of the spacers satisfies 2 Rso≥−60 Td+70 and 2 Rso≤−0.5 N 2 −+16.5 N−73.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hard disk drive, the hard disk drive being a 3.5-inch hard disk drive on which a magnetic disk formed of an aluminum alloy substrate is mounted, wherein
a thickness Td of each of magnetic disks that are arranged in a stacked manner is 0.3 mm or more and 0.6 mm or less, a number N of the magnetic disks is 10 or more and 16 or less, and an outer diameter 2Rso of a spacer that is arranged between the magnetic disks is 35 mm or more and 65 mm or less, and
the outer diameter 2Rso (mm) of the spacer satisfies 2Rso≥−60Td+70 and 2Rso≤−0.5N 2 +16.5N−73.

2. The hard disk drive according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness Td of the magnetic disk is 0.47 mm or more and 0.55 mm or less, the number N of the magnetic disks is 10, the outer diameter 2Rso of the spacer is 38 mm or more and 42 mm or less, a thickness of the spacer is 1.5 mm or more, and the hard disk drive excels in low power consumption at starting.

3. The hard disk drive according to claim 2 , wherein the hard disk drive performs recording by heat assisted magnetic recording or microwave assisted magnetic recording.

4. The hard disk drive according to claim 1 , wherein the hard disk drive performs recording by heat assisted magnetic recording or microwave assisted magnetic recording.

5. A hard disk drive, the hard disk drive being a 3.5-inch hard disk drive on which a magnetic disk formed of a glass substrate is mounted, wherein
a thickness Td of each of magnetic disks that are arranged in a stacked manner is 0.3 mm or more and 0.6 mm or less, a number N of the magnetic disks is 10 or more and 16 or less, and an outer diameter 2Rso of a spacer that is arranged between the magnetic disks is 35 mm or more and 65 mm or less, and
the thickness Td of the magnetic disk is 0.3 mm or more and 0.49 mm or less, and the outer diameter 2Rso (mm) of the spacer satisfies 2Rso≥−74Td+69.3 and 2Rso≤−0.42N 2 +14.8N−63.1.

6. The hard disk drive according to claim 5 , wherein the thickness Td of the magnetic disk is 0.37 mm or more and 0.41 mm or less, the number N of the magnetic disks is 10, the outer diameter 2Rso of the spacer is 39 mm or more and 42 mm or less, a thickness of the spacer is 1.6 mm or more, and the hard disk drive excels in low power consumption at starting.

7. The hard disk drive according to claim 6 , wherein the hard disk drive performs recording by heat assisted magnetic recording or microwave assisted magnetic recording.

8. The hard disk drive according to claim 5 , wherein the hard disk drive performs recording by heat assisted magnetic recording or microwave assisted magnetic recording.
