A data bus can supply power from a first power source to a sink device. The data bus is coupled to a second power source. An electrical current from the second power source supplements an electrical current on the data bus if the voltage on the data bus decreases to less than a threshold value.

Circuit for supplementing electrical current to a peripheral device

The disclosure is related to detecting an electrostatic charge at a data storage device. The electrostatic charge can be detected and a data integrity management process can be implemented. In a particular embodiment, a method includes monitoring an electronic device having a data storage medium for an electrostatic event. The method also includes selectively performing a data integrity management process on the data storage medium when the electrostatic event is detected.

Data integrity management responsive to an electrostatic event

In general, the invention is directed to apparatus that provides one or more low-impedance paths to ground in a data storage device, such as a disc drive, through one or more conductive posts. When a shield, circuit board and base of the data storage device are fastened to one another, the conductive posts are driven into contact with a ground contact on the circuit board or the shield or both.

USB storage device housing

A storage device includes a housing having a cavity formed therein which contains a storage unit. A USB cable is electrically connected between a USB plug located outside of the cavity of the housing and the storage unit located in the cavity. A USB cable stress relief mount includes a first USB cable clamp formed in the housing. A second USB cable clamp is formed in the housing and is opposed to the first USB cable clamp. A third USB cable clamp is formed in the housing. The third USB cable clamp is positioned at an angle with the first and second USB cable clamps. The USB cable extends between, and is secured by, the first, second and third USB cable clamps.
