Abstract
A drive carrier includes a frame to receive and carry a media drive, a handle assembly, and a latching assembly having a helical compression spring and a latch. The handle assembly having a handle is pivotably connected to the frame and configured to rotate relative to the frame between open and closed positions. The handle assembly in its closed position, is configured to engage to a drive cage and hold the drive carrier in the drive cage. The latch is pivotably connected to the frame and rotatable between latched and unlatched positions. A second locking arm of the latch in its latched position, is engageable with a first locking arm of the handle to retain the handle in the closed position. The helical compression spring is arranged at an acute angle relative to the frame and applies force on the latch to bias the latch towards the latched position.
