Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a data storage device improved in sealability between a base and a cover when sealed together, as well as a method of manufacturing the data storage device, are to be provided. In one embodiment, a disk enclosure of a hard disk drive includes a base in which a disk is accommodated, a top cover which covers an intra-base space, and a sealing tape for sealing a peripheral edge portion of the cover. The base is provided in an outer edge portion thereof with a covered portion which is covered with the sealing tape. In the covered portion, a sealed portion to which the sealing tape adheres is inclined so that an outer edge thereof becomes higher than an inner edge thereof.
