(5)Air circulation (recirculation filter, breather filter)
The disk enclosure (DE) configures a clean room to keep out particle and other contaminants. The DE has a closed-loop air recirculation system. Using the movement of the rotating disks, air is continuously cycled through a filter. This filter will trap any particle floating inside the enclosure and keep the air inside the DE contaminant free. To prevent negative pressure in the vicinity of the spindle when the disks begin rotating, a breather filter is attached. The breather filter also equalizes the internal air pressure with the atmospheric pressure due to surrounding temperature changes.
(6)Read/write circuit
The read/write circuit utilizes a read channel mounted with a head IC that supports high-speed transmission and an MEEPR4ML (Modified Enhanced Extended Partial Response Class 4 Maximum Likelihood) modulation/demodulation circuit in order to prevent errors being triggered by external noise and to improve data reliability.
(7)Controller circuit
The controller circuit uses LSIs to increase the reliability and uses a high speed microprocessing unit (MPU) to increase the performance of the SCSI controller.
