Abstract
A storage device unit includes a storage device containing a recording medium in a housing. A heat radiation device is attached to the storage device outside the housing. The storage device unit enables prevention of rise in the temperature of the storage device based on the action of the heat radiation device. The storage device keeps normally operating in a high temperature condition. Moreover, the heat radiation device can be attached to a conventional storage device, so that it is possible to avoid the redesign of the storage device. The storage device having a resistance to high temperature can be provided in this manner at a lower cost.
Claims20
A storage device unit comprising:
- a storage device containing a recording medium in a housing;
- and
- a heat radiation device attached to the storage device outside the housing.
The storage device unit according to claim 7, wherein a guide surface is defined on the base member, the guide surface contacting a predetermined guide fixed within an enclosure, enclosing the storage device, the base member and the fin, when the guide surface guides movement of the storage device with respect to the enclosure.
A cooling device comprising:
- an enclosure defining a space containing an electronic component;
- a thermally-conductive base member contained in the enclosure and defining a surface for receiving the electronic component;
- a fin member having a thermal conductivity and contacting the base member;
- a guide stationarily located in the enclosure;
- and
- a guide surface defined on at least one of the base member and the fin member, the guide surface being received on the guide to guide movement of the base member with respect to the space of the enclosure.
A cooling device comprising:
- an enclosure defining a space containing an electronic component;
- a thermally-conductive base member contained in the enclosure and defining a surface for receiving the electronic component;
- a fin extending from a back surface of the base member;
- a guide stationarily located in the enclosure;
- and
- a guide surface defined on the base member, the guide surface being received on the guide to guide movement of the base member with respect to the space of the enclosure.
A cooling device comprising:
- an enclosure defining a space containing an electronic component;
- a thermally-conductive base member contained in the enclosure and defining a surface for receiving the electronic component;
- a heat pipe contacting the base member;
- a fin having a thermal conductivity and connected to the heat pipe;
- a guide stationarily located in the enclosure;
- and
- a guide surface defined on the base member, the guide surface being received on the guide to guide movement of the base member with respect to the space of the enclosure.
A storage device unit comprising:
- a storage device;
- an enclosure enclosing the storage device;
- and
- a thermally-conductive member made of a non-silicon material and interposed between the storage device and the enclosure.
