A spindle motor includes a rotor unit rotatably supported by a bearing portion arranged to rotate about a central axis, a stator radially opposed to the rotor magnet with a gap therebetween and a substantially ring-shaped magnetic member arranged within a gap at an axial space between a disk and coil layers of the stator. The magnetic member includes a first planar portion and a second planar portion formed in a region overlapping with a moving region of a head unit, the first planar portion being positioned higher than the second planar portion. A carriage unit arranged to support the head unit may be accommodated within a space defined by the radial outer surface of the first planar portion, the upper surface of the second planar portion and the lower surface of the disk. Further, the coil layers can be made radially non-uniform in conformity with the shape of the magnetic member.
