Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, one or more storage drives, one or more fans, and one or more acoustic barriers. The housing includes a bottom side bounded by a front side, a back side, a first side, and a second side opposite the first side. The housing may further include a top cover removably attached to the housing. The storage drives may be disposed within the housing at a first location. The fans may be disposed within the housing at a second location spaced from the first location. The fans may generate a flow of air through the housing, while simultaneously generating sound waves that travel throughout the housing. The acoustic barriers may be disposed between the storage drives and the fans, and configured to attenuate the sounds waves prior to the sound waves reaching the storage drives in order to reduce the throughput performance degradation of the drives.
