A hard disk drive includes a base deck that is coupled to a cover, a motor assembly that is coupled to the base deck, and magnetic recording media that is coupled to the motor assembly. The motor assembly includes a magnetic bearing with a horizontal magnetic bearing component and a vertical magnetic bearing component.

Magnetic bearings for data storage devices

A hard disk drive mounting assembly that includes a disk drive assembly having a base structure that includes a screw hole and a damping insert at least partially surrounding the screw hole. The disk drive assembly further includes a threaded insert positioned in the screw hole of the damping insert.

Mounting structure for hard disk drives

The present disclosure relates to a data storage device housing component (and related data storage devices) that include a polymeric element attached to a surface thereof. The polymeric element includes a polymeric matrix and a plurality of nanofiller elements dispersed within the polymeric matrix to increase the thermal conductivity of the polymeric element as compared to a polymeric element that does not include the plurality of nanofiller elements. Also disclosed are related methods.

Data storage device housing components having a polymeric element attached to a surface thereof

A data storage device that includes a housing and at least one data storage medium within the housing. The data storage device further includes an anti-shock system having at least one piezoelectric layer on a portion of the housing and at least one element electrically coupled to the at least one piezoelectric layer. The at least one element provides a deflection control signal to the at least one piezoelectric layer.
