A cover member including an air guiding portion and an HDD including the
cover member are provided. The HDD includes: a housing including a base
member and a cover member; a spindle motor installed on the base member;
a data storage disk mounted on the spindle motor; and an actuator
rotatably installed on the base member, and including a read/write head
for recording data onto the disk or reproducing data recorded on the
disk. The cover member includes an air guiding portion protruding from a
bottom surface of the cover member toward a surface of a data storage
disk to guide an air flow generated by a rotation of the disk to the
outside of the disk, and the air guiding portion has a width that changes
along a rotating direction of the disk. Therefore, the air flow generated
by the rotation of the disk can be guided outside of the disk by the air
guiding portion formed on the cover member, and the air flows fast, and
thus, the particles on the disk can be discharged outside of the disk
efficiently.
