Magnetic disk apparatus

摘要

A magnetic disk apparatus has: a magnetic disk having a magnetic film formed on a substrate; a spindle motor for rotating the magnetic disk; a magnetic head for writing/reading information on/from the magnetic disk; a supporting member for supporting the magnetic head; a driving mechanism for moving the magnetic head to a predetermined position on the magnetic disk; a magnetic writing/reading circuit for enabling the magnetic head to write/read information on/from the magnetic disk; an interface for sending/receiving signals for controlling the information to/from another information processing device, a device for detecting whether or not the magnetic disk apparatus is in operation; and mechanism for latching movable part of the magnetic disk apparatus on the basis of detection result of the detecting device.
