The invention provides a disk device which can ensure a large enough insertion space for the disk and move a turntable unit with a simple structure. A lifting frame (11) has a lifting pin that fits into a lifting cam groove of a follower slider, and swings up and down about a rod (9) near a disk slot. A holding member is swingably attached to front end of the lifting frame (11). This holding member supports the turntable unit (13) for holding a disk. The holding member has a cam follower pin that fits into a swinging cam groove of a loading slider to raise and lower the holding member. When the lifting frame (11) swings down from a read/write position to a lowered position, the holding member inclines from the lifting frame (11) so as to place the turntable unit (13) substantially parallel to a disk carrying direction.
