Patent attributes
In one aspect, a carrier (10) for a data storage device has a base (22) and side walls (23,24) upstanding from the base (22). A runner (25) is provided on at least one side wall (23,24) for sliding engagement with a runner (12) of a chassis (1) in which the carrier (10) is in use mounted. The carrier runner (25) is on the edge of the at least side wall (23,24) that is opposite the base (22). The width of the carrier runner (25) generally transverse to the side wall (23,24) is greater than the thickness of the at least one side wall (23,24). In another aspect, a carrier (10) for a data storage device has a base (22) and side walls (23,24) upstanding from the base (22). The material of the carrier (10) is resilient. The carrier (10) is arranged such that the carrier (10) can grip a data storage device between the side walls (23,24).
