Damage of a connection between a connector and a circuit board on which
the connector is mounted is to be prevented at the time of connecting the
connector with a corresponding connector on a host side. In one
embodiment, an HDD is provided with a serial ATA connector. The connector
is mounted on a circuit board. The HDD is also provided with stiffeners
for fixing the connector to the circuit board. When the connector moves
toward a base at the time of connection thereof to a host-side connector,
the stiffeners come into abutment against the base to stop the movement
of the connector. As a result, damage of the connection between the
connector and the circuit board can be prevented.
