A plurality of disks are supported and rotated by a spindle motor in a
case. A stabilizer is located in the case. The stabilizer has a
stabilizer plate which is located between the disks and opposed to
surfaces of the disks with gaps therebetween and a plurality of support
portions which extend from the stabilizer plate outside the disks, are
sandwiched between a bottom wall and a cover of the case, and support the
stabilizer plate. A method of assembling the stabilizer plate includes
positioning the stabilizer plate over a first magnetic disk and securing
a support portion to a bottom wall or surface of the case, positioning a
second magnetic disk over the stabilizer plate and then securing an upper
cover of the case to the support portion.
