Apparatus, system, and method for enabling multiple storage-system configurations

A configurable storage-system drawer may include (1) a chassis, (2) a slide assembly coupled to a side of the chassis that is configured to enable the chassis to be temporarily pulled out of a data-center rack, and (3) a passive drive-plane board housed within the chassis and configured to enable storage-system modules that differ between two or more storage-system configurations of the storage-system drawer to be interchanged. In some examples, the passive drive-plane board may include (1) storage-drive connectors that are each configured to detachably mate with a storage drive, (2) a storage-system-module connector configured to detachably mate with a storage-system module that includes one or more components necessary for one of the two or more storage-system configurations, and (3) electrical interconnects that electrically couple the storage-drive connectors to the storage-system-module connector. Various other apparatus, systems, and methods for enabling multiple storage-system configurations are also disclosed.

Disk-shaped article shipping container

Disclosed herein is a container for shipping disk-shaped articles. The container comprises a cassette comprising a top opening, a plurality of dividers that define slots therebetween for receiving disk-shaped articles and constraining lateral movement of the disk-shaped articles, and pads for supporting the disk-shaped articles and constraining downward vertical movement of the disk-shaped articles. The container also comprises a top lid coupleable to the cassette over the top opening and comprising resiliently flexible fins. When the top lid is fully coupled to the cassette, the disk-shaped articles are supported on the pads, and the container is not shrink-wrapped, an unoccupied gap is defined between the resiliently flexible fins and the disk-shaped articles. When the top lid is fully coupled to the cassette, the disk-shaped articles are supported on the pads, and the container is shrink-wrapped, the resiliently flexible fins contact and are flexed against the disk-shaped articles.

SSD MULTIPLER WITH VIBRATION RESISTANCE AND STRUCTURE FOR STACKING SSD MEMORY CARDS OF VARIOUS SIZES IN HORIZONTAL SLIDING MANNER
20210117364 · 2021-04-22 ·

Provided is a high-capacity SSD that has the same form factor as 3.5-inch hard disk drives and has a structure where memory cards, such as standard M.2 SSDs, M.3 SSDs or nonstandard full-scale SSDs, are inserted in a horizontal sliding manner into an exterior having the same size as a 3.5-inch hard disk drive, and are provided in a multi-stage arrangement in the vertical direction. The SSD multiplier provides a high-capacity SSD case structure having a novel structure where a vertical backplane board is placed at a fixed position such that the case does not need to be disassembled even when an SSD memory card is replaced with another SSD memory card having a different length. Further provided is a case structure which can handle the various sizes of SSD memory cards that are used, where individual SSD memory cards have vibration resistance characteristics against external vibrations in XYZ-axis directions.
