Embodiment Construction

[0012] figure 1 is a bottom perspective exploded view of the information storage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Information storage device 100 includes disk drive 110 having head disk assembly (HDA) 102 and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) 104 . Information storage device 100 also includes a device housing 120 that includes a generally rectangular bay 122 for housing disk drive 110 . The generally rectangular compartment 122 includes a base portion 124 and a plurality of sidewall portions 126 . Base portion 124 may be, for example figure 1 The upper portion of the downward facing compartment 122 of the laptop is shown, with the compartment being accessed from below the laptop. Alternatively, however, the base portion 124 may be the bottom of the upwardly facing compartment 122, eg where the compartment 122 is accessed by lifting off all or part of the keyboard.

Abstract

A novel information storage device is disclosed and claimed. The information storage device includes a device housing with a generally rectangular bay to accommodate a disk drive. The generally rectangular bay includes a base portion and a plurality of side portions. The information storage device further includes a damping insert sheet disposed between the disk drive and the base portion. The damping insert sheet has a plurality of elastomeric cushions, for example with a cushion thickness in the range 0.5 mm to 10 mm, and a spanning sheet, for example having a sheet thickness in the range 0.02 mm to 0.35 mm. Each of the plurality of elastomeric cushions is attached to the spanning sheet. Each of the plurality of elastomeric cushions contacts and is compressed between the generally rectangular bay and the disk drive.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application, the filing date of the original application is December 20, 2012, the application number is 201210556950.3, and the title of the invention is "Information storage device with a damping insert between the housing compartment and the disk drive". This application claims priority to and the benefit of US Patent Application No. 13 / 331,889, filed December 20, 2011. Background technique [0002] Information storage devices include computer systems and other consumer electronics that can retrieve and / or store data. Information storage devices may include magnetic hard drives. Magnetic hard drives are sensitive to their external environment, including mechanical shock and vibration, externally applied forces and electromagnetic fields, contamination, changes in temperature and / or humidity, etc. Thus, the housing and mounting system for the hard disk drive included in the information storage device can affect the performance, reliab...
