A two and one-half inch form factor disk drive includes a base having a top and bottom. A spin motor (50) is secured to the base and the disk is mounted thereon, and a cover (44) is sealably attached to the base (42). The base and cover (44) enclose the disk, heads (60, 61), and actuator (40). The disk drive has an overall maximum height equal to or less than substantially twelve and one-half millimeters (12.5 mm). In a further aspect, the disk drive further includes a header assembly for electrically coupling a printed circuit board including the control electronics to the actuator, read/write heads and spin motor. The drive further includes an actuator assembly fabricated such that the actuator assembly and the header assembly (40) are secured to a single mounting member, thereby, providing an integrated header and actuator assembly for insertion into the disk drive. |
