An optical disk 100 is provided with a hub 3 at the central portion
of a substratel. A relationship Y/X0.015, preferably Y/X0.05 is
satisfied where X is the projected area of the substrate 1 and Y is a contact
area between the hub 3 and the substrate 1. As result, no slippage
occurs between the hub 3 and the substrate 1 even when they are rotated
at high speed than conventional. With this higher rotational speed, the data transfer
rate is improved, and irregular rotation and the camming are suppressed, thereby
reducing tracking errors and write/read errors.
