A spindle shaft attachment technique for a disk drive includes a conical tip formed on, or added to, the top of the spindle shaft in order that it might be embedded in or contact a substantially planar, interior surface of the HDA cover at a location determined by the perpendicularity of the spindle as set by the baseplate without forcing the top of the spindle shaft to a predetermined screw hole or recessed cone location on the cover. The spindle shaft attachment technique disclosed allows for use of a relatively longer spindle shaft for a given height form factor drive and, therefore, allows a greater spacing between upper and lower spindle bearings resulting in greater stiffness and an increased rocking mode frequency.
