Abstract

In order to suppress the occurrence of adhesion between magnetic disks and spacers when the magnetic disks and the spacers are removed from a hard disk drive apparatus in which the magnetic disks and the spacers are installed, a surface roughness Ra of a main surface of a ring-shaped glass spacer to be arranged in contact with a magnetic disk is set to be not larger than 1.0 μm, and an average inclination RΔa of the main surface is set to be at least 0.02.
