DISK DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18244671 titled 'DISK DEVICE
The abstract describes a disk device with magnetic disks, a spindle motor, a housing, a first board, and a first connector. The magnetic disks are arranged in an axial direction and rotated by the spindle motor in an inner space within the housing. The housing has a first wall with the spindle motor attached and a second wall surrounding the inner space, with the first board attached to the outer surface of the second wall. The first connector is connected to an external device and each magnetic disk has a diameter between 80mm and 100mm. The housing has a maximum dimension of 26.2mm in the axial direction.

Original Abstract Submitted
A disk device according to one embodiment includes magnetic disks, a spindle motor, a housing, a first board, and a first connector. The magnetic disks are arranged in an axial direction. The spindle motor rotates the magnetic disks about a first rotation axis. The magnetic disks and the spindle motor are accommodated in an inner space in the housing. The housing includes a first wall having the spindle motor attached thereto, and a second wall protruding from the first wall to surround the inner space. The first board is attached to an outer surface of the second wall. The first connector is attached to the first board and is connected to an external device. Each of the magnetic disks has a diameter of 80 mm or more and 100 mm or less. The housing has a maximum dimension of 26.2 mm or more in the axial direction.
