A particle extracting device and a hard disk drive including the device
are provided. The particle extracting device includes a cover member of
the hard disk drive; and an air guiding member disposed on a bottom
surface of the cover member and facing a disk, so as to form a flowing
path which guides an air flow generated by a rotation of the disk to an
outer portion of the disk. In addition, the flowing path formed along an
outer circumference of the air guiding member has an air inlet portion
having a larger cross-section than a cross-section of an air outlet
portion of the flowing path.
