Abstract
A mounting system for a storage medium comprises a washer. The washer has a peripheral rim that is subject to a mounting distortion. The storage medium comprises a mounting rim facing the peripheral rim. The mounting rim is separated from the peripheral rim by an isolation space. Isolation material is disposed in the isolation space. The isolation material supports the storage medium on the washer. The isolation material deforms to relieve transmission of the mounting distortion to the mounting rim.
