Embodiments of the invention provide a data storage device improved in
sealability between a base and a cover when sealed together, as well as a
method of manufacturing the data storage device, are to be provided. In
one embodiment, a disk enclosure of a hard disk drive includes a base in
which a disk is accommodated, a top cover which covers an intra-base
space, and a sealing tape for sealing a peripheral edge portion of the
cover. The base is provided in an outer edge portion thereof with a
covered portion which is covered with the sealing tape. In the covered
portion, a sealed portion to which the sealing tape adheres is inclined
so that an outer edge thereof becomes higher than an inner edge thereof.
