Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward a disc drive apparatus having an inner enclosure structure that resides within an outer disc drive enclosure. The inner enclosure structure includes an environment-adsorption material, an inner volume of gas, and an aperture-defining membrane. The environment-adsorption material combines a first-type of molecules with a second-type of molecules that are present in the outer disc drive enclosure. Additionally, the aperture-defining membrane facilitates diffusion of the second-type of molecules into the inner enclosure structure and into contact with the environment-adsorption material to adsorb the second-type of molecules into the first-type of molecules, which reduces the volumetric pressure in the outer disc drive enclosure.
