An electronic device including a housing having an interior gas space, at least one electronic component positioned within the housing, an environmental control module positioned within the housing, wherein the environmental control module contains a sorbent, and a relative humidity sensor in communication with the interior gas space, wherein the interior gas space is maintainable at a relative humidity of 0% as measured by the relative humidity sensor. The interior gas space may include between about 97% and about 99.9% helium expressed as a molar fraction and at least a portion of the remainder as molecular oxygen. The sorbent can include at least one of a type A zeolite, a type X zeolite, or a type Y zeolite.

A system according to one embodiment includes a magnetic structure having a tunnel junction, and a controller and logic integrated with and/or executable by the controller. The logic is configured to reduce a local relative humidity in a vicinity of the tunnel junction by passing a current through the tunnel junction for at least a period of time that the tunnel junction would otherwise not have a current passing therethrough. A method according to one embodiment includes determining a relative humidity in an environment of a tunnel junction that is part of a magnetic structure and selecting an operating current from a range of allowable operating currents based on the determined relative humidity. The selected level of the current is high enough to heat the tunnel junction to a temperature which reduces a local relative humidity in a vicinity of the tunnel junction.

The moisture absorption unit includes a moisture absorbent having a composition to adsorb moisture, and a case attached to the cover in the internal space. The case accommodates the moisture absorbent. The adsorption unit includes an adsorbent having a composition to adsorb a second gas different from the first gas. The adsorption unit is held by at least one of the holding member and the case outside the case in the internal space. The absorption member is exposed to the internal space.

A magnetic disk device of an embodiment includes: a housing in which a base and a cover are combined and airtightly closed; a magnetic disk housed in the housing; a needle protruding upward in an internal space of the housing; and a desiccant assembly provided on the cover so as to face the base away from the base by a predetermined distance, in which the desiccant assembly includes: a case including an opening on a surface facing the base, a sealing film provided at the opening, a division filter that divides space of the case into a first chamber and a second chamber, the second chamber including the opening, and a desiccant filled in the first chamber, and the second chamber communicates with the internal space of the housing by the needle penetrating the sealing film.

A data storage device may include an enclosure and a metal organic framework (MOF) container situated within an enclosure interior. The MOF container contains a MOF configured to store captive molecular units and to release the captive molecular units in gaseous form into the enclosure interior. A method of manufacturing the data storage device may include charging the MOF, attaching the MOF container to the enclosure interior, and sealing the enclosure after attaching the MOF container to the interior of the enclosure. A method of adjusting an amount of gas in a sealed data storage device may comprise including a MOF container within an interior of the sealed data storage device, the MOF container containing a MOF, charging the MOF, and, after the sealed data storage device has been placed into service, the MOF releasing captive molecular units into the interior of the sealed data storage device.

According to one embodiment, a disk device includes a magnetic disk, a housing, a first filter unit, and a second filter unit. The housing is provided with an internal space and is provided with a first through hole. The first filter unit includes a first case with a first accommodation space which is in communication with the first through hole, a first adsorbent in the first accommodation space, and a first filter. The first accommodation space is in communication with the internal space through the first filter. The second filter unit includes a second case with a second accommodation space which is separated from the first accommodation space, a second adsorbent in the second accommodation space, and a second filter. The second accommodation space is in communication with the internal space through the second filter.
