An electrical feed-through, such as a PCB connector, involves at least one positioning protrusion protruding from a main body, and may further include multiple positioning protrusions protruding in respective directions from the main body. A data storage device employing such a feed-through comprises an enclosure base with which the feed-through is coupled, where the base comprises an annular recessed surface surrounding an aperture that is encompassed by the feed-through and is at a first level, and at least one recessed positioning surface at a higher level than the first level and extending in a direction away from the annular recessed surface. The positioning protrusion of the electrical feed-through physically mates with the recessed positioning surface of the base, such that the position of the feed-through is vertically constrained by the recessed positioning surface.

A fixing bracket is used to fix a plurality of storage devices in a housing. Each of the storage devices has a first sidewall and a second sidewall opposite and respectively having plurality of fixing holes. The fixing bracket includes a frame body and two pivotal members. The frame body has an opening and an accommodating space. The frame body includes a plurality of first fixing pins in the accommodating space. The storage devices can be accommodated in the accommodating space. Each of the first fixing pins is for being inserted into the corresponding fixing hole on the first sidewall. The pivotal members are pivotally connected to the frame body. Each of the pivotal members includes a plurality of second fixing pins. When the pivotal members cover parts of the opening, each of the second fixing pins is for being inserted into the corresponding fixing hole on the second sidewall.

A storage drive configured for use in a storage drive block and a storage drive block are provided. The storage drive block in one example includes a plurality of storage drives joined together into a substantially rigid storage drive block, a block communication element extending to the plurality of storage drives and adapted to communicatively link a plurality of communication boards of the plurality of storage drives to a mass storage chassis assembly, and one or more joining elements affixing the one or more mounting elements of each storage drive to form the storage drive block.

A cable assembly is used to connect elements of a computing system. The cable assembly may include a first cable and a connector. The first cable includes an external portion having a first conductor, an electromagnetic (EMC) shielding jacket for the first conductor and a connector disposed at an end of the first conductor. Further, the first cable includes an internal portion comprising a second conductor and a connector disposed on an end of the second conductor. However, the internal portion lacks an EMC shielding jacket for the second conductor. The external portion of the first cable and the internal portion of the first cable form a continuous cable. The connector device comprises a shield area configured to electrically couple with a chassis of a node of a computer system and a retainer configured to physically couple the cable assembly with the chassis. The connector is configured to electrically couple the external portion of the first cable with the chassis, and wherein the external portion of the first cable meets the internal portion of the first cable at the connector device.

Apparatus is provided in which digital data is processed and the apparatus including processing means for processing received and/or stored data, a data storage media can be selectively mechanically located with said apparatus via mounting means to allow the transfer of the data between the storage media and the processing means when connected. The mounting means includes one or more biasing means to ensure that the storage media, when inserted into the mounting means, is moved into the required location for connection to the power and/or data connection means of the apparatus.

A storage canister is provided. The storage canister in one example includes an enclosure, multiple Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) located within the enclosure, a plurality of mounting elements configured to receive the multiple HDDs, wherein each mounting element of the plurality of mounting elements is configured to receive a HDD, a plurality of suspension elements supporting the plurality of mounting elements, with each suspension element of the plurality of suspension elements supporting and providing vibration isolation to a corresponding HDD of the multiple HDDs, and an external connector configured to be externally accessible, with the external connector being electrically coupled to the plurality of mounting elements.

Provided is a magnetic recording and reproducing device including, in a sealed space in the magnetic recording and reproducing device: a magnetic tape; and a magnetic head are provided, in which a relative humidity difference (RH.sub.C-RH.sub.B) between a relative humidity RH.sub.B in the sealed space measured in an environment of a temperature of 21° C. and a relative humidity of 50% and a relative humidity RH.sub.C in the sealed space measured in an environment of a temperature of 60° C. and a relative humidity of 5% is within ±10%.

Technology is provided for a pivoting memory drive adapter. The memory drive adapter is used for adapting memory drives for insertion into a drive bay that is larger than the memory drives. The memory drive adapter includes an adapter frame and a memory carrier. The adapter frame has an envelope compatible with a hard disc drive (HDD) drive bay, for example, and includes a pair of spaced apart sidewalls each including a slot. The memory carrier includes a pair of pins extending from opposite sides of the memory carrier engaging a corresponding one of the pair of slots. Thus, the memory carrier can pivot with respect to the adapter frame. A pair of spaced apart ledges divides the memory carrier into two memory drive locations, each sized to receive a memory drive, such as a solid state drive (SSD).

An electrical feed-through, such as a PCB connector, involves at least one positioning protrusion protruding from a main body, and may further include multiple positioning protrusions protruding in respective directions from the main body. A data storage device employing such a feed-through includes an enclosure base with which the feed-through is coupled. The base includes an annular recessed surface surrounding an aperture that is encompassed by the feed-through and is at a first level, and at least one recessed positioning surface at a higher level than the first level, and extending in a direction away from the annular recessed surface. The positioning protrusion of the electrical feed-through contacts the recessed positioning surface of the base, such that the position of the feed-through is constrained by the recessed positioning surface.

The present disclosure generally relates to a tape embedded drive having a plurality of feedthrough connectors. The feedthrough connectors are symmetrically placed within the tape embedded drive such that regardless of whether an even or odd number of feedthrough connectors are present, the feedthrough connectors are symmetrical about a centerline of the tape embedded drive. In such a layout, the tape embedded drive is more stable due to symmetrical mass balance. Additionally, the tape embedded drive is more cost effective to produce.
