An impact buffer having a high buffering effect includes two or more
impact buffering members with different hardness, contacted with at least
one surface of a side surface part of an HDD unit positioned orthogonally
to the rotation surface of a magnetic disk of the HDD unit, supports the
HDD unit, buffers an impact applied to the HDD unit by expansion and
contraction, further moderates the rotation of the HDD unit in the
direction causing a head arm to move onto the disk at rest, prevents the
head detachment, and can overcome the weaknesses of the head arm and an
inertial latch structure.
