Abstract

A multi-testing system for a number of hard disk drives (HDDs) is described. The system includes a high temperature burn-in chamber 620 for the HDDs 644-652 and a control chamber 610, isolated from the burn-in chamber 620 by a partition wall 80, for a plurality of HDD test computers 612-618 electrically connected with the HDDs. Each test computer has a plurality of adapters 622-626 connected to it to allow data transfer between a plurality of the HDDs and the HDD test computer. A host computer 600 controls the internal environment of the burn-in chamber 620 and the HDD test computers 612-618.
