Abstract
A magnetic head disk apparatus has a housing with one thicknesswise end providing the front side and the other thicknesswise end providing the rear side of the apparatus. The apparatus further has a plurality of head disk assemblies each including at least one combination of a magnetic head and a magnetic disk. The head disk assemblies are arranged in a plurality of rows not only in heightwise and breadthwise directions but also in the thicknesswise direction of the housing. With this arrangement, it is possible to accommodate a multiplicity of head disk assemblies with a high space factor in the housing.
