Magnetic disk device with wind shield members

   
   

The magnetic disk device includes magnetic disks, magnetic head arms and wind shield members arranged above and below the magnetic disks, respectively, in a region adjacent to the magnetic head arms. The wind shield members are arranged on the rotationally upstream side of the magnetic head arms, and the air flow generated by the rotation of the magnetic disks and impinging against the magnetic head arms is guided to the outside of the magnetic disks.
