Abstract: A data storage device including a housing including an overmold element with features for sealing the interior from ambient particulates, providing mechanical support with respect to a host, absorbing mechanical shock, and retaining a recirculation filter. The device includes a flexible electronic interconnect connectable to the host. The host includes a cavity. A resilient support extends through a movement margin between the housing and the cavity, absorbing mechanical shock. Bumpers are disposed on the housing and serve to cushion a strike when the device travels through the swing space. The resilient support extends from the corner region and is molded through an opening in the device. A sealing arrangement includes a sealing lip and bias cones and seals the interior of the device from outside particulates. A recirculation filter retention feature retains a recirculation filter. Latching features prevent two opposite portions of the housing from separating.

Abstract: A digital storage arrangement is interfaceable with a host device which defines a cavity. The digital storage arrangement includes a housing receivable in the cavity, with a movement margin between the housing and host device, while a resilient support arrangement is provided for fixed engagement with the host device and for engaging the housing, while extending through the movement margin, to support the housing within the storage device cavity and to subject the storage device to a lesser degree of mechanical shock when the host device receives a given mechanical shock. The resilient support arrangement provides support by extending from each corner region of the housing to the host device. The support arrangement is molded through an opening defined by the housing in each corner region to extend outwardly to the host device. A bumper configuration is provided integral with the support arrangement and including a sealing arrangement.
