Abstract
A disclosed apparatus may include a storage drawer chassis having thermally-conductive barriers, with the thermally-conductive barriers defining storage bays adapted to receive storage drives. The apparatus may further include a coolant manifold, an inlet mechanism adapted to receive coolant into the coolant manifold of the storage drawer chassis, and an outlet mechanism adapted to permit coolant to exit the storage drawer chassis for thermal processing. The coolant manifold may be disposed in the storage drawer chassis to distribute coolant among a plurality of coolant channels extending within the thermally-conductive barriers to cool the storage drives. Other related systems, devices and methods are disclosed.
