Abstract
A magnetic disk unit is provided which can protect internal mechanisms from external force. A cover 11 covers the outer periphery of a base 12 which supports a spindle mechanism 2 and a head positioning mechanism 5. The cover 11 is connected to the base 12 elastically to reduce the possibility that the external force directly acts on the base and to assure that the external force acting on the cover is transmitted to the base via a cushioning material, whereby the spindle mechanism and the head positioning mechanism are protected from the external force.
