Described are enclosures for electronic devices; the enclosures include a cover, a base, and a snap-fit engagement between the cover and the base; also described are methods of preparing the devices.

Devices with a snap-fit engagement and related methods

The disclosed technology provides a system and method that improves interlaced magnetic recording (IMR) data throughput in vibration in storage systems. In one implementation, a method includes determining whether there are write retry operations in the IMR storage device, determining whether bottom track caching space is available responsive to determining whether there are write retry operations in the IMR storage device, performing a vibration detection scheme to identify vibration events responsive to determining whether bottom track caching space is available, determining if a number of vibration events is above a predetermined threshold, and writing data to available bottom track caching space responsive to determining if the number of vibration events is above a predetermined threshold.

Interlaced magnetic recording storage system

A storage container includes a base housing member coupled to an inner cover and including an inner cavity. The storage container further includes an outer cover coupled to the base housing member and covering the inner cover. A rack assembly includes a plurality of storage devices and is mounted within the inner cavity.

Helium-filled storage container

Apparatus for mechanically isolating an excitation source, such as a disc drive spindle motor, to reduce the generation of acoustic noise by and to suppress the effects of external mechanical shocks upon a disc drive. The disc drive includes a base deck having a central opening, the central opening having an interior surface. A mechanical isolator formed by an annular ring of compliant material is disposed within the central opening of the base portion so that an exterior surface of the mechanical isolator is connected to the interior surface of the central opening in the base portion. The mechanical isolator further includes a central opening having an interior surface to which an exterior surface of an inner support portion is attached, the inner support portion supporting the excitation source. The mechanical isolator serves to isolate the inner support portion from the base portion of the base deck, damping the transfer of mechanical energy between the base portion and the support portion.
