assembled with the base and having an air hole for making
internal/external pressures of the hard disk drive equal to each other;
and a breather filter interposed between the cover and the base in order
to filter air introduced through the air hole of the cover. An upper
portion of the breather filter is tightly coupled to the cover and a
lower portion of the breather filter is tightly coupled to the base.
