Abstract
A peripheral device carrier including a rotatable lever that can be selectively engaged by a clip coupled to the carrier advantageously provides for one-handed insertion and extraction of the carrier by a user while still allowing for peripheral device bay optimization. Such a carrier can accommodate a variety of different types of peripheral devices. Additionally, because the rotatable lever of the carrier is widened to allow easy one-handed operation, the lever includes a more robust engagement portion, thereby providing smoother insertion and extraction of the carrier, as well as more secure engagement with the peripheral device bay.
