ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure relates to a disk drive assembly including a printed circuit board having a front end opposite a back end, and opposite side edge portions extending between the front and back ends. A disk drive is electrically and mechanically connected to printed circuit board. Clips for damping vibration are mounted on each opposite side edge portion of the printed circuit board. Damping is also achieved via elastomeric layers positioned between the clips and the printed circuit board.
