PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To impart a disk device which is utilizable as an external memory of a computer system with sufficient storage capacity at a low cost and further compactness property, reduced weight, low power consumption and mechanical impact resistance which are advantages for an IC memory card. SOLUTION: The disk device is provided with a disk drive part for rotating a disk in which information is stored, a head mechanism part for write/read information in/from the disk and an electronic circuit, including an interface circuit, inside a housing. Furthermore, a connector connected with the electronic circuit is provided outside the housing; a frame which is an insertion guiding part for inserting the housing into a slot of an external apparatus is attached to an outer peripheral part of the housing, and a projection part for absorbing play and vibration in a state where the housing is inserted into the external apparatus, is formed at a part of the frame; so that the overall external size, including the housing and the connector and size of the IC memory card standardized by PCMCIA-ATA, have interchangeability.
