Abstract
A redundant array of independent disk drives (RAID) is coupled to a backplane for interfacing with a computer. Each drive in the array is mounted in a carrier. The backplane has a main power circuit and each carrier has a power conditioning and distribution circuit. Each pair of power circuits interfaces via a connectorless magnetic coupling having a core transformer with two halves. Half of the split core transformer is contained within each of the backplane and the carrier. The main power circuits deliver power to the magnetically coupled split core transformer halves, which then deliver electrical power to their respective power conditioning and distribution circuits on the carriers to provide power to the drives.
