    摘要: A hard disk drive that includes a disk, a head, and a filter enclosed by a base plate and a cover plate. The base plate has a filter wall with a fore end and an aft end. The fore end of the filter wall has a tapered surface that extends to an apex. The distal end of the filter wall has a first filter attachment portion separated from a second filter attachment portion by a groove. The second filter attachment portion may be longer than the first filter attachment portion. The filter wall induces a flow of air that inhibits particle attachment to a reverse side of the filter.
