ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention pertain to an apparatus for a shock absorber that allows a disk drive to move with respect to the chassis of a computer system. In one embodiment, the disk drive shock absorber includes an assembly joint and a flexure. The flexure is capable of being coupled to the assembly joint. The assembly joint is capable of being coupled to the flexure and the computer system's chassis. The shock absorber is created by coupling the flexure to the assembly joint. The shock absorber has a form that can be used to flexibly couple the disk drive's enclosure with the computer system's chassis without requiring an increase in size of the chassis.
