Abstract
A disc storage system component includes a deck and at least one snubber. The deck is configured for a disc to be rotatably mounted adjacent thereto. The at least one snubber is formed integrally with the deck and configured to block the disc from contacting the deck. This protects the discs from damage, either during an improper mechanical shock, or when the discs are deposited onto a mounting above a deck during assembly, in one embodiment.
