Systems and methods for predicting hard drive performance

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a computer processor, enables the computer processor to perform a method for predicting hard drive disk (HDD) performance in an experimental enclosure, comprising:

• obtaining, by an HDD performance data generator, an experimental enclosure vibration dataset from a vibration measurement apparatus;
• obtaining an ideal HDD vibration threshold;
• making a first comparison between the experimental enclosure vibration dataset and the ideal HDD vibration threshold;
• calculating, based on the first comparison, an experimental enclosure HDD performance dataset;
• making a first determination that the experimental enclosure HDD performance dataset exceeds an acceptable threshold;
• and
• performing a design action on the experimental enclosure based on the first determination to generate a design of an enclosure, wherein the enclosure is a modified version of the experimental enclosure.
