  • Patent number: 10772229
    Abstract: A snap slide clip provides a secondary securing mechanism for a drive carrier. The drive carrier includes a fastening mechanism to secure the drive carrier to a rack with the mounted drive connected to a storage system. A handle arm actuates a first latch feature to secure the drive carrier to the rack in a closed position and disengages the first latch feature in an open position such that the drive carrier can be moved with respect to the rack. A primary securing mechanism includes a second latch feature that secures the handle arm in a closed position. The snap slide clip is affixed to the primary securing mechanism to prevent the handle arm from moving into the open position in the event of failure of the primary securing mechanism. The snap slide clip can be retrofitted to a drive carrier of an active storage system without disrupting access to storage.
