Abstract: The present invention provides a configuration of a hard drive enclosure system and method for manufacture in which a polymer including electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI shielding) properties is configured such that shielding gaskets may be reduced or eliminated completely. Patterned honeycomb “tubes” are molded into the front wall of the front panel providing access to the interior of the front plate, and allowing ventilation. Other EMI shielding cuts may be molded or stamped into the sides of the disk-drive enclosure and raised tab structures allow the enclosure to be placed in an array. The container is generally stamped, molded or extruded from Premier® or another EMI-shielding polymer material that provides sufficient EMI shielding.

Abstract: A hard drive haven system for hard drives in a multiple environment that meets thermal, structural, interconnect ability, reliability, and mechanical integrity as is mandated for the life of a hard drive. The inventive device, as illustrated, is made from polymer materials that enhance vibration absorption, and acoustic noise. This inventive device will reduce the cost of metal solutions as well.

Abstract: The present invention provides a configuration of a hard-drive containment system and method for manufacture in which a polymer including an electromagnetic interference shielding (EMI shielding) is configured such that shielding gaskets may be reduced or eliminated completely. Patterned sinusoidal “cuts” that are molded into one or more sides of a disk-drive container made of Premier® or another EMI shielding polymer material that provides sufficient EMI shielding, such that further shielding, such that the need for gaskets is reduced or eliminated.
