Abstract
Data storage systems are provided. A representative data storage system includes a chassis that is configured to mount at least one data storage device and a carrier. The carrier incorporates a frame and a handle assembly. The frame includes a first and second rails that are spaced from each other and configured to engage opposing sides of a data storage device. Preferably, the first and second rails are formed at least partially of metal for dissipating heat from the data storage device. The handle assembly includes a handle that is configured to move between a latched position and an unlatched position. In the latched position, the handle facilitates secure mounting of the carrier to the chassis. In the unlatched position, the handle facilitates removal of the carrier from the chassis. Other systems and devices also are provided.
