Abstract
A data storage device includes a memory storage disc, a spindle motor, a read head for sensing data stored on the disc, an actuator for supporting the read head with respect to the disc, and an air baffle between the actuator and the disc. The spindle motor rotates the memory storage disc causing air flow adjacent a surface of the disc. The air baffle is positioned between the disc and the actuator to isolate the actuator from the air flow adjacent the surface of the disc.
