Embodiments of the invention provide a small, thin, yet reliable magnetic
disk drive. In one embodiment, a magnetic disk drive comprises: a motor
hub including a disk support portion and a flange portion, the disk
support portion supporting a magnetic disk thereon, the flange portion
being located higher than the disk support portion and protruding
radially outward with respect to a rotational center of the magnetic
disk; a clamp having a ring shape and including an inclined undersurface
inclined downward from the outer circumference of the ring shape toward
the inner circumference of the ring shape, the ring shape encircling the
flange portion, the clamp being engaged around the outer circumference of
the flange portion; and an O-ring engaged with the inclined undersurface
of the clamp so as to press the clamp against the flange portion or clamp
the clamp, the O-ring being further engaged with the magnetic disk so as
to press the magnetic disk against the disk support portion.
