ABSTRACT:
A disk drive having forced convection cooling is provided herein. The disk drive includes a drive housing, a disk assembly, an actuator assembly, a fluid passageway and a fluid source. The drive housing defines a housing internal chamber which contains the disk assembly and the actuator assembly. The fluid passageway extends through the housing internal chamber near the disk assembly and the actuator assembly. The fluid source provides fluid flow through the fluid passageway to cool the housing internal chamber. This allows the disk drive to operate at cooler temperatures. As a result thereof, the disk drive is less affected by thermal expansion and the operational life of the components of the disk drive are increased.
