Abstract
A method and system of controlling contamination within an HDD with a surface modified MCM 41/48 material. The method includes encasing the hard disk drive and a mesoporous material in an enclosure of the hard disk drive, wherein the mesoporous material sorbs contaminants within said enclosure.
Claims18
A hard disk drive comprising hard disk drive contamination control, said disk device comprising:
- an enclosure of said hard disk drive;
- and
- a mesoporous material disposed within said enclosure, wherein said mesoporous material sorbs contaminants within said enclosure.
A method of manufacturing a hard disk drive with contamination control, said method comprising:
- encasing said hard disk drive and a mesoporous material in an enclosure of said hard disk drive, wherein said mesoporous material sorbs contaminants within said enclosure.
A method of enabling low fly height in a hard disk drive, said method comprising:
- surface modifying MCM 41/48 that is initially hydrophilic in nature to hydrophobic in nature, wherein said surface is modified by Me3SiCl;
- and
- encasing said hard disk drive and said surface modified MCM 41/48 in an enclosure, wherein said surface modified MCM 41/48 adsorbs siloxanes within said enclosure to prevent hard disk drive failure.
