<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disk drive assembly for minimizing influences by vibration of a flexible PCB caused during operation. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The disk drive assembly includes a movable assembly 110 having a mounting arm, a stationary electronics module, a flexible printed circuit board (PCB) 122 electrically connecting the movable assembly to the stationary electronics module, and a flexible support 201 sandwiched between the flexible PCB and the mounting arm. The flexible support is attached to the flexible PCB and the mounting arm, and extends beyond the mounting arm of the movable assembly. The flexible support is flexible enough to flex with the flexible PCB and has sufficient rigidity so that an exit point and an exit angle of the flexible PCB can vary during movement of the movable assembly. The flexible PCB is attached to the flexible support via an adhesive layer that damps vibrations in the flexible PCB. Ž<P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT Ž
