Abstract
A carrier is disclosed for securing a computer drive within a chassis. The carrier provides improved access to the computer drive and drive connector using a lever and lifting pins. The lever and pins cooperate to lift the computer drive and the lifted access allows such carriers to be positioned with minimal separation, increasing the potential density of computer drives within the chassis. The lifted access also assists with computer drive maintenance.
