Data storage device chassis for heat dissipation

Abstract

An apparatus includes an enclosure and a coolant recirculation assembly. The enclosure includes a first disk drive and a second disk drive. The coolant recirculation assembly includes a first casing and a pump. The first casing is configured to contain a liquid coolant and includes a first portion positioned between and in contact with the first and second disk drives. The pump is configured to circulate the liquid coolant. The conduit assembly fluidly connects the first casing and the pump. A method includes providing a first casing in an enclosure, the first casing configured to contain a liquid coolant; positioning a first disk drive in the enclosure in contact with the first casing; and moving the liquid coolant through the first casing past the first disk drive, wherein the first casing prevents contact between the liquid coolant and the first disk drive.
