ABSTRACT:
A data storage device for a computer system, such as a hard disk drive (HDD), provides means for channeling air flow from the spinning disks to other components within the HDD enclosure that require cooling, particularly a voice coil motor having a coil which is used to move an actuator assembly. Channeling may be provided by forming a slot or gap in the disk cavity wall, or by providing an insert part which has a channel formed therein that directs air flow to the VCM coil.
