摘要： A hard disk drive assembly having a hard disk drive positioned within an external housing. Isolators formed of a resilient material, such as an elastomeric material, are interposed between the hard disk drive and an external housing. The isolators also preferably having a plurality of openings that extend there through that lower the stiffness of the isolators during small deflections such as those caused by vibrations, but large deflections, such as those caused by shocks cause the openings or holes to close there by generating greater stiffness is response to external shocks.
