Abstract: A disk array includes a drive enclosure and a pair of rails. The drive enclosure includes a tray with a first base leg and a second base leg spaced from the first base leg, where the tray facilitates receipt of a memory drive device at a space between the first and second base legs such that the drive locking pins engage with openings along surfaces of the memory drive device. A handle pivotally connects with the tray to facilitate rotational movement of the handle in relation to the tray. A pair of rails secure to a printed circuit board (PCB) of an electronic device, and the rails receive and retain portions of the tray and the handle when the tray is inserted between the rails of the pair.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an apparatus (e.g., for damping a motion of a drawer in a storage system) comprises a plate to pivotally attach to a first wall of a drawer, the plate comprising a pivot point about which the plate can pivot; a damped gear coupled to the plate, the damped gear having a plurality of gear teeth; and a spring to facilitate pivoting the plate about the pivot point to engage at least one of the plurality of gear teeth with at least one tooth on a rack. In some embodiments, the spring is to pivot the plate from a first configuration to an angular position relative the wall in a second configuration, wherein the at least one of the plurality of gear teeth and the at least one tooth on the rack are fully engaged with one another in both the first configuration and the second configuration.

Abstract: A high density storage housing includes a housing and a plurality of drive carriers. The housing includes a storage area and a motherboard. The storage area extends across at least a portion of a width and at least a portion of a depth of the housing. The motherboard extends across the storage area and includes a plurality of first connectors. The plurality of drive carriers each include a second connector configured to mate directly with one of the plurality of first connectors. Moreover, the second connector of each drive carrier of the plurality of drive carriers is disposed on a long side of its drive carrier so that the plurality of drive carriers mount storage drives to the housing in a sideways orientation.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, one or more storage drives, one or more fans, and one or more acoustic barriers. The housing includes a bottom side bounded by a front side, a back side, a first side, and a second side opposite the first side. The housing may further include a top cover removably attached to the housing. The storage drives may be disposed within the housing at a first location. The fans may be disposed within the housing at a second location spaced from the first location. The fans may generate a flow of air through the housing, while simultaneously generating sound waves that travel throughout the housing. The acoustic barriers may be disposed between the storage drives and the fans, and configured to attenuate the sounds waves prior to the sound waves reaching the storage drives in order to reduce the throughput performance degradation of the drives.
