Glass substrate for magnetic disk and magnetic disk
A magnetic-disk glass substrate capable of suppressing turbulence of air flow in a vicinity of an outer circumferential side edge portion of the magnetic disk and suppressing disk flutter is provided. This magnetic-disk glass substrate includes a pair of main surfaces, a side wall surface formed on an outer circumferential side edge surface, and chamfered surfaces interposed between the side wall surface and the main surfaces, respectively. The side wall surface has a roundness of 1.5 μm or less. A difference in radius between an inscribed circle and a circumcircle of a plurality of outlines of the side wall surface at a plurality of positions that include a central position of the magnetic-disk glass substrate in a thickness direction and are different from each other in the thickness direction is 5 μm or less.
