Disk drive rocking mode vibration damper

   
   

A computer disk drive assembly is provided having a vibration damper for reducing transducer/track misregistration errors and acoustical noise in a computer disk drive having a rotating shaft. The disk drive generally includes a flexible interconnection between a base assembly and a bearing assembly, in combination with a rigid interconnection between the base assembly and the bearing assembly. By attenuating the amplitude of vibrations in the disk drive, the present invention allows for increased track densities and produces less acoustical noise than undamped disk drives.
