Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to a tape embedded drive having the spindles upon which the tape reels are disposed, fixedly coupled at both the bottom and the top to ensure stability of the reels. Furthermore, an additional cover over the spindle can be used to secure the top coupling mechanism and the spindle to the tape embedded drive enclosure to provide additional stability. A sealing cover is then placed over the additional cover to tightly seal the enclosure.
