Abstract
A data storage system can be vigilant of the acoustic impedance between cooling features and a data storage device to prevent operational degradation in the data storage device as a result of cooling operations from the cooling features. One or more cooling feature may each be positioned on an opposite sides of an air plenum from a data storage device with each cooling feature connected to a cooling module configured to adjust a speed of the first cooling feature in response to a detected operational condition in the data storage device. The cooling features speed adjustment is executed independently to correct an acoustic and vibration disturbance interference in the data storage system.

A method comprising:
- positioning a first cooling feature and a second cooling feature on a first side of an air plenum, opposite a data storage device positioned on a second side of the air plenum;
- connecting the first cooling feature and the second cooling feature to a cooling module;
- and
- adjusting a speed of the first cooling feature as directed by the cooling module in response to a detected operational condition in the data storage device to correct an acoustic impedance mismatch in the air plenum.
An apparatus comprising a first cooling feature and a second cooling feature are each positioned on an opposite side of an air plenum from a data storage device, each cooling feature connected to a cooling module configured to adjust a speed of the first cooling feature in response to a detected operational condition in the data storage device to correct an acoustic impedance mismatch in the air plenum.
A method comprising:
