ABSTRACT:
An improved disk drive breather vent for communicating air between the interior and the exterior of a sealed disk drive housing, comprising a vent passageway extending through the housing, a long, narrow groove disposed in an interior surface of the housing, and a sealing member adhesively bonded over the long, narrow groove to provide a long, narrow air passage which reduces diffusion of water vapor to and from the sealed disk drive housing as pressure equalization to ambient occurs.
