A novel actuator latch includes a catch portion interfering with actuator rotation with the latch in a closed position. The latch includes a first stop portion that is in contact with a fixed member with the latch in the closed position. The latch includes a pusher portion that is in contact with the actuator with the latch in the closed position and with the actuator in an extreme rotational position. The latch includes a second stop portion comprising a cantilevered finger having a supported end and a free distal end. The free distal end is in contact with the second fixed member with the latch in the open position. Neither the catch portion nor the pusher portion is disposed on the cantilevered finger.

Described herein is a disk drive balance plug that includes a substantially cylindrical body defining a first end, a second end, a substantially cylindrical outer surface, and a plug central axis. The balance plug also preferably includes at least one protrusion extending along the cylindrical outer surface between the first and second ends in a direction substantially aligned with the plug central axis.

A hard disk drive recirculation filter is disposed on a housing surface of a disk drive assembly oriented adjacent to one or more disk surfaces. In one embodiment, the recirculation filter is a pocket filter having a filter support component and a filter element. The filter support includes an inlet, a top surface and a bottom surface, where the bottom surface is used to adhere the pocket filter to the housing surface. The top surface is adapted to adhere the filter element thereto, thereby forming a pocket into which rotationally-induced airflow may enter.

A disk drive having a spindle hub, a disk clamp, coupled to the spindle hub, the disk clamp having an aperture, and a balance plug inserted through the aperture of the disk clamp is described herein. The balance plug has a thermally deformable portion that is deformed to retain the balance plug between the spindle hub and the disk clamp.
