  • Patent number: 11495270
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a tape embedded drive having a plurality of feedthrough connectors. The feedthrough connectors are symmetrically placed within the tape embedded drive such that regardless of whether an even or odd number of feedthrough connectors are present, the feedthrough connectors are symmetrical about a centerline of the tape embedded drive. In such a layout, the tape embedded drive is more stable due to symmetrical mass balance. Additionally, the tape embedded drive is more cost effective to produce.

  • Patent number: 11373677
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a voice coil motor (VCM) yoke for a data storage device. The VCM yoke has a unitary body turned back on itself at opposite ends to form a “C” shape. The unitary body is electrically conductive. The body has a substantially flat inner surface upon which the coil is disposed. The unitary body also has a substantially flat top and a substantially flat bottom surface. A coil is disposed within the turns of the unitary body. The VCM yoke can be coupled to an actuator block using one or more fastening mechanisms that extend through openings in the VCM yoke.

  • Patent number: 11295771
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a head positioning assembly in a tape embedded drive. The tape embedded drive has two reels as well as four guide rollers. The reels and guide rollers are arranged within the tape embedded drive so as to position the head positioning assembly as close to the center of the tape embedded drive as possible. In so doing, the reels, guide rollers, and head assembly are more stable which reduces or even eliminates shock and vibration to the tape embedded drive.

  • Patent number: 11295769
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a voice coil motor (VCM) yoke assembly mounted to an actuator block for a data storage device. One or more fastening mechanisms couple the VCM assembly to the actuator block. The fastening mechanisms are coupled to the VCM assembly by one or more soft mounts. The one or more soft mounts reduce undesirable movement of the magnetic recording head by spacing the VCM assembly from the actuator block, yet still ensuring the VCM assembly is properly coupled to the actuator block.
