A disk drive device includes a recording medium, a head slider having a head
element
for recording data on the recording medium and for reading data recorded on the
recording medium, a spindle motor for rotating the recording medium, and a clamp
for applying a pressing force to the recording medium to fasten the recording medium
to the spindle motor. The disk drive device has a feature in which a film body
formed from a material which is more pliable than a material forming the clamp
is interposed between the clamp and the recording medium. Even if the clamp does
not have a high flatness, the film body absorbs irregularities of the clamp. Thus,
it is possible to fasten the recording medium with the clamp while apparently keeping flatness.
