Method of temporarily sealing data storage device and device

A data storage device comprising:

• a structural cover including a cavity defined by a plurality of sidewalls, each sidewall having a lowermost bottom surface and at least one inner surface;
• a base deck that encloses the cavity, the base deck including a planar inner surface that adjoins the lowermost bottom surface of the sidewalls to enclose the cavity,
• a gasket positioned so that the gasket engages the lowermost bottom surface of the sidewalls and the planar inner surface of the base deck that adjoins the lowermost bottom surfaces of the sidewalls to enclose the cavity;
• and
• a sealing solution in contact with the gasket so that the gasket and sealing solution together with the structural cover and base deck temporarily seals the cavity to inhibit leakage of gases from the cavity, wherein the sealing solution comprises a sealing component having molecular weight of from about 1000 to about 30,000 Daltons.

A method of temporarily sealing a data storage device comprising providing a base deck including a cavity defined by a plurality of sidewalls,

• each sidewall having an uppermost top surface and at least one inner surface;
• providing a structural cover including a planar inner surface that, when placed on the sidewalls of the base deck, adjoins the uppermost top surface of the sidewalls to enclose the cavity;
• placing a gasket on either the uppermost top surface of the sidewalls or the planar inner surface of the structural cover that adjoins the uppermost top surface of the sidewalls;
• and
• applying a sealing solution to either the gasket or surface opposing the gasket selected from the uppermost top surface of the sidewalls or the planar inner surface of the structural cover that adjoins the uppermost top surface of the sidewalls so that the gasket and the sealing solution, together with the structural cover and base deck temporarily seals the cavity to inhibit leakage of gases from the cavity, wherein the sealing solution comprises a sealing component having molecular weight of from about 1000 to about 30,000 Daltons.
