Seagate SeaShield

Seagate SeaShield was a physical electrostatic protection shield feature of Seagate Medalist series hard drives, and followed by the Barracuda series of hard disk drives.

The other half is mounted on the bottom side of hard drive, and is fastened with a metal hook to the electronics board with two Torx screws.

Below the metal shield, there is a layer of foam, which serves as the actual electrostatic protection.

However, this version was a bit less intelligible as rubber is also a heat insulator and has been blamed for failures of aging drives.

[citation needed] The metal shield is covered with a plastic label, which contains instructions on disk installation, and various physical jumper setups.
