SUBSTRATE FOR MAGNETIC DISK, MAGNETIC DISK, AND HARD DISK DRIVE APPARATUS

A substrate for a magnetic disk includes a substrate main body having two main surfaces and an outer circumferential edge surface that has a side wall surface and chamfered surfaces, and a film that is an alloy film containing Ni and P and provided on a surface of the substrate main body. A disk shape of the substrate main body has an outer diameter of 90 mm or more. A thickness T of the substrate that includes the film provided on the main surfaces is 0.520 mm or less. A total thickness D mm of the film on the main surfaces and the thickness T mm satisfy D≥0.0082/T−0.0015. A film thickness of the film on the outer circumferential edge surface is larger than a film thickness of the film on the main surfaces, and is 150% or less of the film thickness of the film on the main surfaces.
