Abstract
A magnetic disk device according to one embodiment includes a base, five or more magnetic disks in the base, a head actuator, and a spindle motor. The base has a bottom wall having a second thickness and a side wall. The spindle motor includes a sleeve with a first hole, fixed to the bottom wall, a shaft inserted in the first hole rotatably, and a hub rotatable integrally with the shaft. The hub includes a first part, a second part extending from a lowermost surface of the first part in a first direction being from the magnetic disks toward the bottom wall, and a third part having a first thickness and extending from a lowermost surface of the second part in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. A value obtained by dividing the second thickness by the first thickness is greater than or equal to 1.89.

A magnetic disk device comprising:
- a base;
- five or more magnetic disks;
- a head actuator;
- and
- a spindle motor, wherein
- the base includes:
- a bottom wall having a second thickness;
- and
- a side wall being erect along a periphery of the bottom wall,
- the base accommodates the five or more magnetic disks,
- the head actuator includes a magnetic head supported in a freely movable manner,
- the spindle motor includes:
- a sleeve with a first hole, fixed to the bottom wall;
- a shaft inserted in the first hole in a freely rotatable state;
- and
- a hub that is freely rotatable together with the shaft, the hub including:
- a first part with a shaft opening into which an upper end of the shaft is inserted;
- a second part extending from an outer periphery of a lowermost surface of the first part in a first direction being from the magnetic disks toward the bottom wall;
- and
- a third part having a first thickness, facing the bottom wall, and extending from a lowermost surface of the second part in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction
- the first thickness of the third part is set such that a value obtained by dividing the second thickness by the first thickness is greater than or equal to 1.89.
A magnetic disk device comprising:
- a base including a bottom wall, and a side wall being erect along a periphery of the bottom wall;
