Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for harvesting electrical energy from mechanical components of hard disk drives (HDDs) in a data storage system and propagating the electrical energy to devices outside of the HDDs. A power distribution board (PDB) may be coupled to a plurality of HDDs and used to detect a voltage drop on a connection between the PDB and the HDDs indicative of a power loss condition, and, in response, enable the flow of electrical energy from the HDDs to the PDB. The electrical energy from the HDDs may be converted for use by the PDB and/or distribution to other components of the data storage system.
