The magnetic storage device additionally comprises a gas, comprising oxygen and helium, sealed in the interior cavity of the housing. A percent concentration of oxygen in the gas is greater than or equal to 3%. A pressure of the gas is between 10% and 70%, inclusive, of atmospheric pressure. A relative humidity within the interior cavity is less than 5%, inclusive. A percent concentration of helium in the gas is less than or equal to 90%.

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes, for example, a casing having an opening with a perimeter, and a circuit board including a first surface facing away from the casing and a second surface facing the casing, a first conductor which extends over the opening in the casing and at least a portion of which is located over the first surface, a second conductor at least portion of which extends over the second surface and is exposed to the interior of the casing at the opening in the casing, and a third conductor extending through the first surface and the second surface and electrically connected to the first conductor and the second conductor at a location outward of the perimeter of the opening.

A data storage enclosure can employ an acoustic baffle for the purpose of reducing performance degradation in a data storage device, such as a rotating medium hard disk drive. A storage enclosure may house a plurality of data storage devices and at least one cooling feature. One or more acoustic baffles may be positioned between the at least one cooling feature and the plurality of data storage devices. The acoustic baffle can separate a first sound pressure region that is proximal the at least one cooling feature from a second sound pressure region that is proximal the plurality of data storage devices.

An environmental control module for use in a hard disk drive, the environmental control module including a body member having an outer peripheral wall defining an inner body member area, the peripheral wall comprising a top edge and a bottom edge, a dividing wall separating at least a portion of the inner body member area into a first section and a second section, and a bottom surface extending from the bottom edge of the outer peripheral wall and comprising an opening into the first section of the inner body member area. The module further includes a first permeable member covering the opening in the bottom surface, a desiccant positioned within the second section of the inner body member area, and a non-permeable member covering the second section of the inner body member.

An adsorbent breather assembly for filtering contaminants such as particulars and vapor phase contaminants, e.g. volatile organic compounds, for use with electronic devices can include a blocking region adjacent to the adsorbent filter layer to improve filtering performance.

A valve apparatus for a storage device includes a tab configured to couple to an enclosure and a flap coupled to the tab by a flexure. The flap is configured to regulate airflow through a breather hole of the enclosure. The flap includes an opening configured to reduce airflow into the enclosure when the flap is in a closed position.
