Embodiments of the invention provide a disk drive capable of reducing
vibrations of a disk generated by an airflow produced as the disk
rotates. In one embodiment, a disk drive comprises: a rotary magnetic
disk, a base for housing the magnetic disk, a top cover for closing the
disk in the base to form an enclosure, a circulating filter arranged
externally of the magnetic disk to trap dust within the enclosure, and an
airflow guide for guiding an airflow which flows out of the circulating
filter more to the center side than to the outer edge portion of the
magnetic disk. Further, a shut out portion is provided in the vicinity of
the outer edge portion of the magnetic disk to shut out an airflow which
flows out in the vicinity of the outer edge portion.
