Storage device and an array of disks, and an apparatus for arranging disk

Abstract

Techniques arrange a disk, a storage device, and a disk array. Such techniques involve: a bracket configured to be detachably coupled to a rack; and a button arranged in the bracket and configured to be movable under the action of an external force to decouple the bracket from the rack, wherein a first end of the button is configured to be operated by a user, and the end surface of the first end includes a first surface and a second surface, the second surface extending from the first surface towards a second end, opposite to the first end, of the button. Accordingly, such techniques not only can avoid accidental touch, improve heat dissipation efficiency, and provide a mark area, but also can help prevent loss of user data in a storage device and a disk array.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. CN202010364429.4 on file at the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), having a filing date of Apr. 30, 2020, and having “A STORAGE DEVICE AND AN ARRAY OF DISKS, AND AN APPARATUS FOR ARRANGING DISK” as a title, the contents and teachings of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the field of data storage, and in particular, to an apparatus for arranging a disk, a storage device, and a disk array.BACKGROUND[0003]A high-density storage server is usually of a modular design and has a drive cabinet and a disk drive array. Disk drives use an industry-standard dimension, and server cabinets are also usually standardized in terms of their dimensions. For example, disk drives of a narrower width (e.g., a width of 7.6 mm) are defined in the new Enterprise and Da...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The apparatus provides increased operation space to prevent accidental dismounting of disk drives, enhances heat dissipation efficiency, and reduces manufacturing costs while ensuring data integrity.

Problems solved by technology

A decrease in the dimension of disk drives will affect heat dissipation and reduce the available mark area (e.g., for marking parameter information of a disk drive).

While an increase in the number of disk drives in the available space will cause compression or reduction of the space between the drives (e.g., being 1.9 mm only), which makes it very easy for a user to accidentally touch other disk drives when dismounting a certain disk drive, resulting in forced turn-off of the disk drives and corruption or loss of data in a storage server.
