Abstract
The disk carrier is used to house and secure a plurality of disks and comprises a disk cassette having an open top, an open bottom, and end wall ingresses; a top cover; and a bottom cover. The top cover has flaps to cover the end wall ingresses. To reduce particulation from opening and closing the disk carrier, one embodiment of the disk carrier implements an articulation in the flaps. Another embodiment implements a living hinge on the bottom cover. The disk carrier also has a path to ground for dissipating static and other electrical charge away from the disks.
