Described herein is a system that includes a sled and a data storage device positioned within the sled. The sled includes a base, an electrical connector positioned within and movable relative to the base, and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is positioned within the base and movable, relative to the base and the electrical connector, between a locked position and a unlocked position. In the locked position, the locking mechanism restricts movement of the electrical connector in at least one degree of freedom relative to the base. In the unlocked position, the locking mechanism does not restrict movement of the electrical connector in the at least one degree of freedom relative to the base. The data storage device is co-movably coupled to the electrical connector.

To provide enhanced operation of data storage devices and systems, various systems and apparatuses are provided herein. In a first example, a data storage assembly includes an enclosure configured to house at least one data storage device and a fan assembly configured to provide airflow within the enclosure to ventilate the at least one data storage device. A plurality of acoustic waves emanate into the data storage device from one or more fans of the fan assembly during operation. An acoustic attenuation device is positioned within the enclosure and configured to deflect at least a first portion of the plurality of acoustic waves away from the at least one data storage device and absorb a portion of acoustic wave energy of at least a second portion of the plurality of acoustic waves.
