(5)Air circulation system
The disk enclosure (DE) is sealed to prevent dust and dirt from entering. The disk enclosure features a closed loop air circulation system that relies on the blower effect of the rotating disk. This system continuously circulates the air through the recirculation filter to maintain the cleanliness of the air in the disk enclosure.
(6)Read/write circuit
The read/write circuit uses a LSI chip for the read/write preamplifier. It improves data reliability by preventing errors caused by external noise.
(7)Controller circuit
The controller circuit consists of an LSI chip to improve reliability. The
