Abstract
A disk chucking apparatus and a disk drive having the same are disclosed. The disk chucking apparatus may include: a chuck base having a plurality of holding portions, a plurality of chuck pins which are inserted in the holding portions such that the chuck pins protrude out from the chuck base, and a plurality of elastic members which elastically support the chuck pins, where each of the elastic members elastically supports a pair of adjacent chuck pins concurrently. When this disk chucking apparatus is utilized, the center of the disk and the center of the chuck base can be aligned with greater ease, since forces can be transferred uniformly to the center of disk.
