Abstract:
A storage device includes a data drive and an enclosure. Shock absorber mounting holes on the enclosure can receive shock absorbers to connect to the data drive. In this way the data drive can be suspended from the enclosure. The enclosure can also have one or more protrusion. The one or more protrusion can be located such that when the data drive is placed thereon and each shock absorber is placed within a respective shock absorber mounting hole, each shock absorber is aligned with a mounting hole on the data drive. This can allow securement of the respective shock absorber to the respective data drive mounting hole to suspend the data drive. When the data drive is assembled within the enclosure, the one or more protrusion is sized such that an impact on the one or more protrusion by the data drive will destroy the one or more protrusion.
