Abstract
A fixed disk storage unit is mounted in a protective outer case and is supported by elastic shock absorbers. A head/disk enclosure including a rotatable disk and a head actuator of the fixed disk storage unit therein, and an electronic card on which electronic circuits are mounted, are placed abreast with a gap there between on substantially the same plane in the protective outer case, and the head/disk enclosure is supported on all sides including the side next to the gap by the shock absorbers. This construction provides a shockproof and portable disk storage apparatus which is small-sized and whose manufacturing process is simple.
