A hard disk drive having a vibration reducing damper is disclosed. The hard disk drive is provided with a damper which is interposed between a through hole provided at a cover plate and a screw joined to the upper end of the shaft of a spindle motor, and includes at least one viscoelastic material layer. It is preferable that the damper has a multi-layered structure in which at least one high stiffness layer has relatively higher stiffness and at least one low stiffness layer made of a viscoelastic material has relatively lower stiffness. With the above configuration, the damper restrains vibrations generated by the spindle from being transferred to the cover plate, noises generated by the hard disk drive are reduced, and, in addition, since vibrations generated by the spindle motor are damped, disk fluttering is reduced.
