A computer disk drive assembly is provided having a vibration damper for
reducing transducer/track misregistration errors and acoustical noise in a
computer disk drive having a rotating shaft. The disk drive generally
includes a flexible interconnection between a base assembly and a bearing
assembly, in combination with a rigid interconnection between the base
assembly and the bearing assembly. By attenuating the amplitude of
vibrations in the disk drive, the present invention allows for increased
track densities and produces less acoustical noise than undamped disk
drives.
