Abstract

A disk drive in which the base and the cover are interconnected in spaced positions to provide a marginal, peripheral gap between confronting or adjacent faces or edges thereof. The gap is bridged, closed and sealed by means of a pressure sensitive adhesive tape, a viscoelastic tape, which is energy adsorbing to damp disk drive vibrations.
