摘要

A packaging methodology for adding functionality to a data storage device (disk drive, tape drive, other storage device, or storage subsystem) while maintaining the same form factor, standard size, or allocated size; or by increasing the overall package size to a larger form factor, standard size, or allocated size. Different standard sizes of storage devices commonly referred to as form factors, the increase in storage densities, electronic miniaturization, smaller electronic assemblies performing the same/similar function, and modularized storage subsystems mean that additional functionality may be packaged within any given standard storage size (form factor): A storage device's function may be enhanced while maintaining the same volume (same length, width, height) or standard size (form factor) as was allocated for in the design of the storage device. Furthermore a smaller sized (form factor) storage device may be packaged with additional components into a space originally reserved for a larger sized form factor storage device. Since data security is of paramount importance today, the addition of data security functions within the form factor of any given data storage device is one compelling application of such a methodology, yet the scope of this invention is not limited to data security functions.
