A disc transfer device according to the present disclosure is a disc transfer device that transfers a disc in a first direction from a first position toward a third position via a second position, and includes a roller, a roller support mechanism, a first retaining member, a second retaining member, and a retaining member support mechanism. The roller rotates in a state of contact with a disc end face on one side in a second direction being orthogonal to the first direction, until the disc reaches the third position from the first position. The roller support mechanism supports the roller such that the roller is in contact with the transferred disc and is moveable in the first direction and the second direction. The first retaining member extends in the first direction, and is brought into contact with the disc end face on the other side in the second direction until the disc reaches at least the second position from the first position. The second retaining member is brought into contact with the disc end face on the other side in the second direction until the disc reaches the third position from the second position. The retaining member support mechanism supports the second retaining member such that the second retaining member is in contact with the transferred disc and is moveable in the first direction and the second direction.

A data storage chassis includes a plurality of data storage cartridges, and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) electronics selectively connectable to one or more of the plurality of data storage cartridges. The data storage chassis also includes a wireless interface controller communicatively coupled to the PCBA electronics. The wireless interface controller facilitates wireless communication of data between the data storage chassis and a host using at least one frequency in a range of frequencies including fifth-generation (5G), millimeter, and sub-millimeter frequency ranges.

An apparatus with a housing which stores a plurality of data storage magazines, where each data storage magazine includes a plurality of data storage devices. The housing includes a movable carriage, the movable carriage configured to selectively couple a set of data storage devices held by a particular data storage magazine to a host device. The housing also includes a motor configured to move the movable carriage within the housing to enable the movable carriage to communicatively couple the set of data storage devices held by the particular data storage magazine to the host device.

A disc transfer device according to the present disclosure is a disc transfer device that transfers a disc in a first direction from a first position toward a third position via a second position, and includes a roller, a roller support mechanism, a first retaining member, a second retaining member, and a retaining member support mechanism. The roller rotates in a state of contact with a disc end face on one side in a second direction being orthogonal to the first direction, until the disc reaches the third position from the first position. The roller support mechanism supports the roller such that the roller is in contact with the transferred disc and is moveable in the first direction and the second direction. The first retaining member extends in the first direction, and is brought into contact with the disc end face on the other side in the second direction until the disc reaches at least the second position from the first position. The second retaining member is brought into contact with the disc end face on the other side in the second direction until the disc reaches the third position from the second position. The retaining member support mechanism supports the second retaining member such that the second retaining member is in contact with the transferred disc and is moveable in the first direction and the second direction.
