Embodiment
Provided in the following description detail, so that the complete understanding to embodiment to be provided.Yet, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that in the situation that do not have these details also can implement these embodiment.For example, for fear of making embodiment fuzzy with unnecessary details, can circuit be shown block diagram.In other examples, for fear of making embodiment fuzzy, known circuit, processing, algorithm, structure and technology can be shown, and without unnecessary details.
Implement the present invention with the removable data cartridge with unique features.Come data inserting card casket by the hole in drive bay (bay), wherein, the electric connector that data cartridge comprises is connected to the matching connector of drive bay inside.Utilize retaining element help suitable insertion, aligning and remove data cartridge.Except when data cartridge is just aimed at and be directed, retaining element stops the insertion of drive bay.This prevented may be due to unsuitable insertion (particularly when applying power) corrupt data card casket and drive bay.The add-on parts of the data cartridge of various embodiments may comprise: help people and/or mechanically operated handle, be used for making data cartridge be fixed on blocking mechanism, write-protect part and/or the visibility status indicator of drive bay.
At first, with reference to Fig. 1, show the top of an embodiment of removable data cartridge 100.This view has been described the top side 108 of shell 104.Top side 108 has the size of length 116 and width 112.In one exemplary embodiment, length 116 is about 118.9mm (4.68 inches) and width 112 is about 88.4mm (3.4 inches); Yet other embodiment of data cartridge can have different size based on the application of its expection.
Usually, shell 104 is enough greatly can comprise hard disk drive.For example, an embodiment who is configured to receive the data cartridge 100 of 2.5 inches laptop hard drive of standard may have the length 116 of 101mm (3.94 inches) at least and the width 112 of 70mm (2.76 inches) at least.The data cartridge that is used for 1.8 inches hard disk drives can be less, and can be larger for the data cartridge of 3.5 inches hard disk drives.For example, designed to be used 1.8 inches TRAVELSTAR that hold Hitachi (Hitachi) manufacturing
TMData cartridge may have the length 116 of 70mm (2.76 inches) at least and the width 112 of 60mm (2.37 inches) at least.Similarly, the data cartridge that is used for 1.8 inches drivers being made by Toshiba (Toshiba) may have the length 116 of 79mm (3.11 inches) at least and the width 112 of 54mm (2.13 inches) at least.To also can have other sizes for the data cartridge of solid-state storage device.For example, the embodiment that is used for flash chip can be significantly less than those embodiment that designed to be used hard disk drive, perhaps can use identical form factor.
The top side 108 of shell 104 comprises write-protect part 124.In certain embodiments, write-protect part 124 can be a slide block, and it can be moved in two positions one.Change the position of slide block, select accordingly or cancel and select write-protect part 124.Drive bay can be determined the position of write-protect part, thereby allows or forbid write-in functions, and does not affect the ability that reads from data cartridge.In other embodiments, write-protect part 124 can comprise selection flip flop equipment (for example, protrusion, button or rocker switch).Other embodiment can trigger the write-protect part with optical sensor or electric transducer.
Hard disk drive in data cartridge 100 can produce heat.In certain embodiments, thus shell 104 can block heat cause hard disk drive overheated.On the edge between top side and rear side and on the edge between bottom side and rear side, this embodiment comprises 16 air vent 122-1, and it allows air in the inside of shell 104 or outside circulation.Other embodiment can have more or less air vent.In addition, air vent can be positioned at the diverse location of shell 104.
Next with reference to Fig. 2, show the upward view of an embodiment of data cartridge 200.This view shows the data cartridge 200 that is mounted with part.Can complete by operator or mechanical loading device data cartridge is loaded into drive bay.The operator by being positioned at data cartridge 200 right side 228 and the geometrical clamp (handgrip) 128 in the left side 224 of data cartridge 200 keep this data cartridge, and be inserted into by the hole in drive bay, until till the electric matching connector of this data cartridge joint.This hole can be in frame or after frame.Some embodiment can comprise " soft being written into (soft load) " mechanism, and it, loads folder (grip) 208,212 by front and afterbody data cartridge 200 is pulled into drive bay by the operator or after loading arm segment ground insertion at first.Other embodiment can make the operator that data cartridge is inserted into drive bay fully.
Power loader in driver can be at a plurality of somes places manipulation data card casket.These points can be corresponding to the different phase in loading process.For example, at first power loader can utilize front loading folder 208 data cartridge to be positioned at the front in hole, then Once you begin inserts and switches to tail loading folder 212.Similarly, power loader can be put upside down this and processes extract data cartridge out from drive bay.Comprise that on the top side of data cartridge 200 and bottom side 108,204 center loads folder 216, insert and remove operation with further help.The automatic loading device can replace the operator, and does not consider whether driver has soft loader mechanism.
