1 parts›FIG. 1 is a right front perspective view…
FIG. 1 is a right front perspective view of a drive carrier showing our new design.
FIG. 2 is a front view thereof.
FIG. 3 is a right side view thereof.
FIG. 4 is a left side view thereof.
FIG. 5 is a top view thereof.
FIG. 6 is a detail front perspective view of portion 6 in FIG. 1 .
A bottom view of the design is identical to the top view and thus the bottom view is omitted. Moreover, the design cannot be seen in a rear view and thus a rear view is omitted.
The portions of the figures depicted in dashed lines are not part of the claimed design. The dash-dotted lines in FIG. 4 indicate an unclaimed boundary of the depicted design, are not part of the claimed design, and do not correspond to or depict any particular feature of the claimed design.
The design is part of a drive carrier, which is a device that can carry a drive (e.g., a solid-state drive, a hard disk drive, or other drives) that can be mounted thereto. A drive carrier with a drive carried thereby may be used, for example, in a computing system (e.g., a server, a high-performance-compute system, a data storage appliance, a converged or hyperconverged system, or other computing systems) to facilitate installation and uninstallation (e.g., hot-swapping) of the drive to the computing system.
