Embodiment Construction

[0017] In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the subject technology. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the subject technology may be practiced without some of these specific details. In certain instances, well-known structures and techniques have not been shown in detail in order not to obscure the subject technology.

[0018] Various interconnects may be used to connect a hard drive in one environment to a control system in another environment. In accordance with aspects of the subject technology, a multiple hard drive connection system is provided that reduces the complexity of interconnects used to connect hard drives in one environment to a control system in another environment. In some aspects, reducing the complexity of the interconnect can provide the advantages of lower loss and improved signal integrity. In some aspects, the multiple hard drive connect...

Abstract

A multiple hard drive connection system includes a first backplane, a second backplane, and a card assembly. The first backplane includes a pass-through and a first socket, and couples to a control system such that the first socket is in electrical communication with the control system. The second backplane is adjacent to and spaced apart from the first backplane, includes a second socket aligned with the pass-through, and couples to the control system such that the second socket is in electrical communication with the control system. The card assembly includes a first edge card connected to the first socket and a second edge card extending through the pass-through and connected to the second socket. The card assembly couples to a hard drive such that the hard drive is in electrical communication with the control system via the first backplane, the second backplane, and the card assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to hard disk drives, and in particular to systems and methods for connecting multiple hard disk drives. Background technique [0002] Hard drives can be tested for operation under various conditions. For example, hard drives may be tested for operation when placed in environments subjected to various temperatures. However, the control system used to operate the hard disk drive is usually placed in a different environment that does not withstand the various temperatures that the hard disk drive is subjected to. It would therefore be advantageous to provide a multiple hard drive connection system that connects a hard drive in one environment to a control system in another environment. Contents of the invention [0003] In accordance with aspects of the subject technology, a multiple hard drive connection system is provided that reduces the complexity of interconnects used to connect hard drives in one environme...
