摘要： An enclosure for storage devices having at least one mounting surface and a viscoelastic layer disposed between a first layer and a second layer of the mounting surface. A receiver secured to the mounting surface within the enclosure receives a storage device carrier that retains a disk drive and positions the storage device carrier within the enclosure. Clip-on damped springs, coupled to the storage device carrier, guide the storage device carrier through the receiver and couple the storage device carrier to the mounting surface(s). A bezel of the storage device carrier is configured to receive a key in one of a plurality of key positions, with each key position corresponding to a particular disk drive/enclosure chassis interface.

摘要： An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for reducing rotational vibration transmission within a data storage system. A storage device apparatus comprises a carrier having opposing first and second side plates. A support point may be disposed within the first side plate at about a longitudinal center region of the carrier. The support point is configured to contact an enclosure that mounts a plurality of carriers and is the sole support point in the first side plate. Preferably, the support point is positioned such that minimal rotational vibration is transmitted within the data storage system once the carrier is placed in an enclosure housing a plurality of carriers. A second support point may be disposed in the second side plate.

摘要： A periodic rotational vibration check for storage devices to compensate for varying loads is disclosed. A variable representing rotational vibration status is maintained in a rotational vibration log. The variable is processed to determine whether a storage device exhibits a rotational vibration issue. Workload analysis is performed to identify a change to the workloads run on physically separate hardware to resolve the rotational vibration issue and thus eliminate the need for more expensive hardware.

摘要： A vibration damping carrier for a disk drive. The carrier may be made of plastic and includes a pair of flexible rails securable to mounting holes in a raised pad on opposing sides of a disk drive housing. Each flexible rail secures one or more sets of a spring and a protuberance in transverse alignment with the spring. Each spring is outwardly extending for engaging opposing walls of a chassis bay and each protuberance is inwardly extending into engagement with the rigid housing. When the disk drive housing and flexible rails are positioned within the chassis bay, each spring and protuberance set is transversely compressed. Typically, the disk drive housing and the chassis bay are rectangular such that the spring and protuberance are transversely compressed. The protuberances provide localized reinforcement of the rails and prevent any significant flexing from occurring.
