    Abstract: The present technology provides a system for supplying fresh air to downstream components. The system comprises a housing with a first end and a second end, a first plurality of partitions disposed in the housing, and a second plurality of partitions disposed in the housing. The housing comprises a base portion and first and second opposing sidewalls extending from the first end to the second end. Each of the first plurality of partitions includes at least one first ventilation opening associated with each of the plurality of compartments. Each one of the second plurality of partitions comprises at least one partition duct extending through the plurality of partition rows and at least one second ventilation opening connecting the at least one partition duct to associated ones of the plurality of compartments.

    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media for reducing upstream preheat for high-density hard disk drive storage. A system can include first and second rows of storage devices installed in a storage rack, the first and second rows having a first distance between consecutive storage devices. The second row can be located behind the first row and farther away from a source of an airflow than the first row. The system can monitor a temperature associated with the second row and when the temperature rises above a threshold, the system can remove a storage device from the first row. The system can then adjust placement within the first row such that the remaining devices have a second, larger distance between each other to increase airflow to storage devices in the second row and reduce system impedance.
