Abstract: Disclosed is a file memory unit having a casing for accommodating a head positioning mechanism and a magnetic recording disk virtually in sealed manner, and a frame for supporting the casing resiliently. The unit has the provision of a shock absorbing facility for absorbing the vibration created by the head positioning mechanism and the vibration and impact applied from the outside. The shock absorbing facility has a unitary structure having a first spring constant for absorbing relatively small vibration created by the casing, a second spring constant for absorbing the vibration applied from the outside, and a third spring constant for absorbing the impact applied from the outside.

Abstract: A magnetic disk memory device of the invention has a shroud accommodating replaceable or changeable disk packs and air passages through which air is circulated to cool the disk packs and the access mechanism. This air passage is formed, when a shroud cover for closing the space in the shroud is in the closing position, to recirculate the air through the space in the shroud, while, when the shroud cover is in the opening position, to discharge the air delivered by a blower to the outside of the shroud through the opening of the latter. The air passage has an air filter for filtrating the air.
