Abstract

Apparatus is provided for supporting a disk drive (11) that has a disk which rotates in use about a disk axis and an arm which pivots over the disk in use about an arm axis. The disk axis and the arm axis are generally perpendicular to the plane of the disk. The apparatus includes a disk drive carrier (10) having a disk drive receiving portion (12) in which the disk drive (11) can be received and a housing (16) in which the carrier (10) can be received. In one aspect, a mounting arrangement is provided for supporting the carrier (10) within the housing (16) such that the centre of rotation of the carrier (10) is outside the disk drive receiving portion (12) of the carrier (10). In another aspect, a mounting arrangement is provided for supporting the carrier (10) within the housing (16), the mounting arrangement comprising a forced pivot (15) at or towards the opposite end of the disk drive carrier (10) and about which the carrier (10) is fixed for pivotal movement in the housing (16).
