Abstract
A storage cartridge is provided comprising a system connector configured to be hot-pluggable with an external receiving system. The storage cartridge includes a plurality of storage receiving connectors, each of which can be configured to receive either a hot-pluggable storage drive or a storage drive that has not designed to be natively hot-pluggable. In some embodiments, each of the plurality of storage receiving connectors is configured to receive a storage drive that has not been designed to be natively hot-pluggable. In addition, electrical connections are provided between the system connector and the plurality of storage receiving connectors that enable a plurality of the not natively hot-pluggable storage drives engaged with the storage cartridge to communicate with the external receiving system via the system connector configured to be hot-pluggable.
