SUPPORTING AND DAMPING STRUCTURE OF HARD DISK DRIVE

摘要

A supporting and damping structure of a hard disk drive (HDD) that includes a housing and a printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to the housing. The supporting and damping structure includes extension parts extending from at least both edges of the PCB beyond the housing; and support members supporting the extension parts so that the HDD does not directly contact an electronic device in which the HDD is installed. The support members include dampers formed of a viscoelastic material and coupled to the extension parts and/or lower supporters and upper supporters respectively disposed on a base and a cover of the electronic device.
