ENCLOSURE FOR COUPLING STORAGE DEVICE TO A COMPUTER
A mechanical enclosure provides a mechanism for coupling a storage device to a computer system. The mechanical enclosure can be removably coupled to the computer system and can allow for coupling of the storage device to the computer system without using specialty cables and connectors. The mechanical enclosure can allow the storage device to be coupled to computer system without significantly degrading the speed at which the data stored within the storage device is downloaded onto the computer. The storage device can be inserted into the mechanical enclosure which couples the storage device to the mechanical enclosure. The mechanical enclosure can be inserted into the computer system which similarly couples the computer system to the mechanical enclosure to effectively couple the storage device and the computer system. Once the storage device is effectively coupled to the computer system, the data stored within the storage device can be downloaded onto the computer without the need for specialty cables and connectors.
HIGH EFFICIENCY JET FLOW GENERATOR FOR STORAGE COOLING
A computer chassis includes walls defining an airspace containing heat-generating components (e.g., storage drives). The airspace is divided into first and second regions, such as by a printed circuit board supporting the heat-generating components within the first region. An air input feeds both the first region and second region. Input air going through the first region first passes by a forward set of heat-generating components before continuing to a rearward set of heat-generating components to extract heat therefrom. Input air going through the second region bypasses the forward set of heat-generating components before being directed out through an air opening partway down the length of the chassis, after which this air passes by a rearward set of heat-generating components to extract heat.
Isolated vibration structure for fan bay module and HDD cage
An isolated vibration assembly for a computing device includes a top assembly having a top plate. The assembly further includes a base assembly having a base plate that is generally parallel to and offset from the top plate. A partition assembly is positioned generally perpendicularly between the top plate and the bottom plate, with two partition plates defining an internal space. A plurality of vibration isolators is attached in an interspersed manner to one or more surfaces of the top plate, the base plate, or the two partition plates. A computing device is removably installed within the internal space, generating vibrations that are reduced when passing through the plurality of vibration isolators.
Data storage device fixing structure and cabinet
A data storage device fixing structure includes a mounting frame, a resisting member, and a limiting member. The resisting member is movably arranged on the mounting frame and configured to resist a data storage device. The resisting member includes a resisting portion. The limiting member is provided on the resisting member and provided with a fixing portion. The fixing portion extends into the data storage device located in the mounting frame to fixedly mount the data storage device. When the limiting member is moved, the fixing portion is separated from the data storage device, the resisting member is pulled, and the resisting portion drives the data storage device to move.
Storage device, latch assembly and storage device assembly comprising the same
A storage device assembly is provided. The storage device assembly includes a latch assembly having a body and a hook mounted on the body, the hook having elasticity and having distal ends thereof bend away from the body; and a storage device to be joined to the latch assembly. The storage device includes a memory module including a memory connector, and a first enclosure and a second enclosure that encase the memory module except for an opening through which the memory connector is accessible. The first enclosure includes fixing holes corresponding to the distal ends of the hook and configured to accommodate the distal ends of the hook in a configuration in which the storage device is joined to the latch assembly.
DISK DRIVE AND CARRIER ASSEMBLY
An approach for assembling a hard drive to a hard drive carrier is provided. The approach includes an ergonomic tool to aid with assembly. The ergonomic tool allows for a reduction in assembly time and prevents damage to the components. The ergonomic tool comprising of a base having a first surface and a first end open for receiving the components. The tool has a set of walls rising from the base, a first wall rising from the base proximate a second end opposite the first end and a pair of opposing side walls including voids rising from the first surface between the first end and the second end, to form a slot there between to receive the components within and adjacent the first surface. The tool has a releasable hold mechanism that aligns the components during assembly.
Modular mass storage system
A system for storing data includes a rack, one or more data storage modules coupled to the rack, and one or more data control modules coupled to the rack. The data storage modules may include a chassis, two or more backplanes coupled to the chassis, and one or more mass storage devices (for example, hard disk drives) coupled to the backplanes. The data control modules may access the mass storage devices in the data storage modules.
