Handle assembly configured for airflow

A method comprising:

• drawing air through air flow passages of a handle latched to a base;
• drawing the air through air flow passages of the base, the base attached to a media drive;
• and
• drawing the air drawn through the air flow passages of the base across surfaces of the media drive.

An assembly comprising:

• one or more processors configured to execute instructions stored in memory;
• memory configured to store processor-executable instructions;
• a media drive configured to store information and to respond to instructions executed by at least one of the one or more processors;
• a subassembly configured to carry the media drive wherein the subassembly comprises a base and, attached to the base, a pivotal handle that comprises a swing end and an opposing pivot end,
• wherein for a closed orientation of the pivotal handle with respect to the base, an air flow gap exists between a vented portion of the pivotal handle and a vented portion of the base, and
• wherein for an open orientation of the pivotal handle with respect to the base, a finger insertion gap exists between the vented portion of the pivotal handle and the vented portion of the base.
