According to one embodiment, a disk device includes two magnetic disks opposing each other at intervals of 1.2 to 1.5 mm, and at least two suspension assemblies movable respectively between the two magnetic disks. Each of the suspension assemblies includes a base plate, a load beam extending from the base plate, a tab extending from a distal end of the load beam, a wiring member on the load beam and the base plate, including a gimbal portion, and a magnetic head on the gimbal portion, abutting on a dimple of the load beam via the gimbal portion. The ratio of a distance from a bendable location of the load beam to a center of the dimple with respect to a distance from the center of the dimple to a tip of the tab is 2.8 to 3.8.

a housing;
ten or more but twelve or less magnetic disks disposed in the housing and opposing each other at intervals;
suspension assemblies each supporting a magnetic head, and being movable with respect to the magnetic disks; and
a ramp comprising a plurality of guide surfaces, on which tabs of the suspension assemblies are climbable, respectively,
wherein the suspension assemblies each comprising a base plate, a load beam extending from the base plate and including a proximal end portion joined to the base plate and including a bendable location and a distal end, a tab extending from the distal end of the load beam, and a wiring member disposed on the load beam and the base plate, and the magnetic head is mounted on the wiring member, and
each of the guide surfaces of the ramp includes a first slope which inclines and extends from near a surface of the respective magnetic disk in a direction away from the magnetic disk, and a support surface continuously extends from the first slope substantially parallel to the surface of the magnetic disk, and
a distance between one end and other end of the first slope in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the magnetic disk is 0.3 mm or more but 0.35 mm or less.
2. The disk device of claim 1 , wherein
the ramp comprises the guide surfaces opposed each other with a gap therebetween,
