US Patent 10146273 Carrier for storage drive

A carrier supports a storage drive that may be removed from a server or other information handling system. The carrier has a dual-lock mechanism that safely secures the storage drive. A primary lock is manually moved along a first axis, and a secondary lock is manually moved along an orthogonal second axis. Only after both the primary lock and the secondary lock are moved may the carrier be removed from the server. The dual-lock mechanism thus reduces accidental disengagement of the storage drive, especially in rugged usage environments.
