Abstract:
A disk drive includes a first case including a disk, a disk driving unit, a recording/reproducing device, and a recording/reproducing device driving unit, and a second case including a driving circuit to drive and control the recording/reproducing device and the recording/reproducing device driving unit, where the second case is pivotally connected with the first case, and a flexible cable electrically connects the disk driving unit and the recording/reproducing device driving unit with the driving circuit. Accordingly, the thickness of the first case can be increased since only the second case needs to be inserted into a PCMCIA slot, and a PCMCIA card type disk drive with a large storage capacity can be manufactured.
