Patent ID: 8390952

Claim:
An information storage device comprising: a disk drive including a disk drive top surface, a disk drive bottom surface, a disk drive periphery, and a disk drive printed circuit board, the disk drive defining a Z direction that is normal to the disk drive top surface, the disk drive defining a disk drive height measured in the Z direction from the disk drive bottom surface to the disk drive top surface; a first conductive shield over the disk drive, the first conductive shield comprising sheet metal having a thickness in the range 0.4 mm to 1.6 mm and being directly electrically connected to the disk drive, the first conductive shield including a peripheral capacitive flange that at least partially overlaps the disk drive periphery, the peripheral capacitive flange being separated from the disk drive periphery in a direction normal to the Z direction by a clearance, wherein the overlap in the Z-direction is at least 5 times the clearance, and there is no solid layer between the peripheral capacitive flange and the disk drive periphery.
