Abstract
A computer subassembly that includes a pair of disk drives each attached to an end of a module. The module has a printed circuit board that couples the disk drives to a single connector extending from the subassembly. The connector can be plugged into a mating connector within the computer, which provides power and allows the transmission of digital signals between the disk drives and the computer. The disk drives can be electrically and structurally coupled to the computer by merely plugging the module connector into the computer connector.
