Abstract
HDD has been easily exposed to the external shock and vibration because HDD has to apply to mobile devices. Therefore, the stiffness of base has been the important factors for the design of HDD. To improve the stiffness of base, the frame was applied to the base. First, the finite element model of the base was constructed. Then, the FE model was verified by modal analysis. Drop test was performed to confirming the shock simulation model. The dynamic characteristic of original base which is verified is compared with the base which is applied the frame through modal analysis and shock analysis.
