ABSTRACT:
An enclosure is assembled from metal-plated rigid structural foam plastic components to house in minimal space in many hard disk drives. Major components, including the power supply, plug directly to a motherboard at the rear of the enclosure, eliminating internal cables. The parts fit together in snap-in fashion in such manner that the back will not close if parts are not installed properly. For ventilation, slots are formed in the sides and a central partition which permit air from fans on one side to flow laterally across all the disk drives and then out through slots in the opposite side. A side facing door permits easy access to all drives simultaneously for service and upgrade.
