A hard disk drive includes a housing including a base member and a cover
member; a spindle motor installed on the base member; at least one disk
for data storage mounted on the spindle motor; an actuator rotatably
installed on the base member, the actuator having a read/write head for
recording data on the disk or reproducing the recorded data; and an air
guide placed on the bottom of the cover member, protruding toward the
disk near the head, and dispersing an air flow caused by the rotation of
the disk and directed toward the head. The air guide has a triangular
shape with an apex directed against the air flow to split and direct the
air flow toward the spindle motor and the disk such that the air guide
alleviates the impact of the air flow on the head and reduces reducing
the head's vibration.
