Abstract

A disk drive includes a chassis having a spindle motor for rotating a disk and a read/write head for reading or writing data on the disk, a slide block disposed at one side of the chassis and slidable reciprocally along an entrance-and-exit route defined by the disk, and a support member mounted on the slide member so as to be movable together therewith. The support member supports the disk from below during inserting the disk into the disk drive.
