ABSTRACT:
The data storage modules of a data storage system are slidably fitted in an enclosure and are integrated therein mechanically and electrically as a mass data storage system. Each data storage system shock mounts therewithin a disk drive on a four point elastomeric suspension secured to the disk drive. The data storage module has a split module housing having a lower module housing section and an upper module housing section. The elastomeric suspension includes four elastomeric members secured in longitudinally spaced pairs to opposite sides of the disk drive. Four respective pairs of opposed cradles in opposite sides of the upper and lower module housing sections clamp the respective elastomeric members therebetween, with end faces of the elastomeric members in contact with the opposite sides of the lower module housing section, when the upper and lower module housing sections are joined. When joined, the upper and lower module housing sections are secured by a separable hinge at one end and one or more cantilever latch members at the other end.
