Modular rack sized data storage tape library with hermetically sealed tape compartment
A modular data storage tape library includes a modular frame having a form factor similar to other types of computing racks. The modular data storage tape library includes a hermetically sealed enclosure within the modular frame and a cooling portion within the modular frame. Data storage tapes, data storage drives and robotics for moving the data storage tapes are included within the hermetically sealed enclosure. A heat exchanger transfers heat from the hermetically sealed enclosure to the cooling portion outside of the sealed enclosure through a boundary of the hermetically sealed enclosure without introducing air from the data center into the hermetically sealed enclosure. Because air is neither introduced nor removed from the hermetically sealed enclosure, humidity fluctuations are minimal, if existent, and contaminants are prevented from entering the hermetically sealed enclosure, thus increasing the life spans of the data storage tapes included in the hermetically sealed enclosure.
DATA STORAGE COOLING MODULE
One feature pertains to a data storage cooling module. The data storage cooling module comprises a fan cage assembly, the fan cage assembly including a fan cage that includes at least one fan bay, at least one fan assembly removably coupled to the at least one fan bay, and an interface board removably coupled to the fan cage assembly, the interface board including a first interface surface that includes at least one power connector configured to interface with the at least one fan assembly, and a second interface surface that includes at least one drive connector configured to interface with a baseboard.
MOTOR, AND DISK DRIVE APPARATUS
A motor includes a shaft, a base, a stator, a rotor, a bearing, and at least one or more temperature adjusters. The shaft extends along a central axis extending in an axial direction. The base extends in a radial direction from an end of the shaft in an axially one direction. The stator has an annular shape surrounding the shaft, and is disposed further in an axially other direction than the base. The rotor is rotatable about the central axis. The bearing rotatably supports the rotor. The temperature adjuster adjusts an ambient temperature of the bearing. The shaft has a shaft hole recessed in the axial direction from an axial end of the shaft. The temperature adjuster is disposed in the shaft hole and overlaps at least a portion of the bearing as viewed in the radial direction.
Memory device
A memory device includes a device housing, a memory module, and a cooling unit. The memory module is disposed in the device housing, wherein the memory module generates heat, and the heat is transmitted to the device housing. The cooling unit is thermally connected to the device housing to dissipate some of the heat. The cooling unit includes a unit housing and a working fluid. An interior space is formed in the unit housing. The working fluid is disposed in the interior space, wherein some of the heat travels from the device housing, passes through the unit housing, and is transmitted to the working fluid.
Apparatus with temperature mitigation mechanism and methods for operating the same
Methods, apparatuses, and systems related to a memory device are described. A controller may be configured to predict a temperature of a memory based on a real-time temperature of the controller. Based on the predicted temperature of the memory, the controller may execute a remedial action to reduce an actual temperature of the memory for executing an upcoming operation.
