ABSTRACT:
A disk drive box10accommodates a plurality of disk drives20within a case11. A side face of each of the drives20is provided with a heat-absorbing part40including a heat pipe, corresponding to heat producing area HP. The heat taken away by the heat-absorbing part40is transmitted to a heat sink50of the rear of a backboard30via a heat connector60. The heat sink50is cooled by cooling air flowing through an air duct7. By cooling the drive20with the heat pipe, clearances between the drives20can be substantially eliminated, and it is made unnecessary to form an opening for air cooling in the backboard30. Thus, size reduction is possible, and it is possible to increase the degree of freedom for a wiring pattern formed on the backboard30.
