Abstract
Technology is provided for a memory drive storage tray. The memory drive storage tray includes a frame that defines one or more drive bays, each configured to contain a memory drive. Each drive bay includes an associated drive connector for interfacing the memory drive with the memory drive storage tray. Each drive bay also includes a first retainer tab positioned on the frame adjacent the drive connector and a second retainer tab, longer than the first retainer tab, positioned on the frame opposite the first retainer tab. A resilient member, such as a leaf spring, is centrally positioned in the drive bay opposite the drive connector to urge the memory drive toward the drive connector. The resilient member holds the memory drive in place against the drive connector and under the first and second retainer tabs.
