Abstract
A storage device fixture includes first and second storage device bays for receiving first and second storage devices, the first and second storage device bays having first and second entrances, respectively. First and second ejector assemblies are at least partially linearly moveable within the first and second storage device bays, respectively, and first and second rotatable linkages also form part of the storage device fixture, the first rotatable linkage rotatable in a first rotational direction in engagement with the first ejector assembly, and the second rotatable linkage rotatable in a second rotational direction in engagement with the second ejector assembly. Finally, an actuator may move in engagement with at least one of the first and second rotatable linkages, causing the first and second rotatable linkages to rotate substantially simultaneously in the first and second rotational directions, respectively.
