An Apple patent application shows off a more rugged hard drive enclosure, presumably for external hard drives or maybe a portable Time Capsule.
The ruggedness is achieved by angling a 3.5″ hard drive inside an enclosure and putting dampened wedges on each corner of the drive. Apple says this will increase the hard drive’s ability to take a fall and keep on running.
Check out the full patent application, along with several images of the invention, below.
