Disk drive including spindle motor hub and damping members for damping disk movement
   
   

A disk drive includes a disk drive base. The disk drive further includes a spindle motor hub rotatably coupled to the disk drive base. The disk drive further includes a disk disposed about the hub and having a disk surface. The disk drive further includes a disk clamp attached to the hub in mechanical communication with the disk surface for applying a clamping force to the disk. The disk drive further includes a disk clamp damping member disposed adjacent and in mechanical communication with the disk clamp and the disk surface for damping movement of the disk relative to the hub.
