Abstract
A closure seal for a storage device, such as a disk storage device, to block the flow of air into and out of the storage device. The storage device includes a base to support and contain mechanisms for accessing a storage medium, a cover to cover the base, and a single sheet closure seal to seal a boundary between the base and the cover, and to seal apertures in the base and cover. To prevent the formation of bubbles in the closure seal, at least one of the closure seal, the cover, and the surface to which the closure seal is affixed include at least one ventilation hole to release air during the operation of affixing the closure seal.
