Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, a disk device includes an arm with a through hole, a base plate, a load beam, and a damper. The arm has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The base plate has a first protrusion in the through hole. The load beam is attached to the base plate and has a fourth surface and a fifth surface opposite the fourth surface. The first surface and the fourth surface faces one magnetic disk. The fifth surface is inclined so as to be closer to the one magnetic disk as is further away from the arm. The damper is attached to the fifth surface. A value obtained by dividing a first distance between the first surface and the second surface by a second distance between an end of the damper and an axis of the through hole is 0.11 or less.
