Abstract

An information handling system includes a hard disk drive, a handle in physical communication with the hard disk drive, and a first flexible heat sink component. The first flexible heat sink component includes a first surface contact portion, a first main portion, and a first plurality of fins. The first surface contact portion is in physical communication with the hard disk drive. The first main portion is in physical communication with the handle. The first fins extend away from the first main portion. The first fins flex downward toward the hard disk drive when the first fins are placed in physical communication with a cover of a storage sled, and the first fins fit within a space between the cover and the hard disk.
