Abstract
A hard disk drive enclosure base includes a groove extending from an internal sidewall surface into the sidewall and a gasket seal embedded in the groove. In the context of progressively larger recording disk diameters, corresponding expanding disk shrouds, and corresponding narrower baseplate sidewalls, such a baseplate is configured to enable a first cover to physically engage with a portion of the embedded gasket seal that extends inward away from the sidewall surface, thereby providing a suitable drive sealing mechanism.
