Abstract
A carrier is provided for a hard drive. The carrier includes a housing that receives a hard drive and a security chip. A locking component secures the hard drive within the housing. Securing the locking component prevents the hard drive from being removed from the housing. A release mechanism releases the locking component. A breaking component is in communication with the release mechanism such that upon actuation of the release mechanism to release the locking component, the breaking component breaks the security chip for the hard drive.
