Abstract: Apparatus and devices for carrying a storage device and adapting it to a slot for a storage device having a different form factor. The system comprises an opening means for elastically deforming a shape of the system from an original shape so that the carrier may receive the storage device. The system also comprises restraining means for constraining the motion of the storage device within the system when the system returns to the original shape. Furthermore, the system comprises a spacing means for aligning the storage device with the slot while the storage device is restrained within the system.

Abstract: Methods and systems for removably mounting a Solid State Drive (SSD) to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) device without use of a tool. An exemplary system comprises a top portion and at least two flexible legs. Each leg comprises a vertical member attached to the top portion, and a tab for insertion into the PCB, the tab restricting the motion of the drive enclosure with respect to the PCB when inserted into the PCB, thereby allowing for removable attachment of the enclosure to the PCB without use of a tool. The drive enclosure itself is adapted to receive the SSD and adapted to align the SSD for physical coupling with a connector for the PCB.

Abstract: Devices and systems for tool-less assembly of cable chains that are capable of being retractably stored. The device comprises a first contact element, a second contact element, and a lengthwise member. The first contact element is adapted for movable contact with a receiving member of a first cable chain segment. The second contact element is adapted for movable contact with a receiving member of a second cable chain segment. The lengthwise member is fixedly attached to the contact elements. When an angle between the first and the second cable chain segments is a first value, the lengthwise member experiences elastic deformation, generating a spring force at each contact element sufficient to pull the receiving member of the first cable chain segment rotatably towards the receiving member of the second cable chain segment, thereby reducing the angle between the first and the second cable chain segments to a second value.

Abstract: Systems and methods are hereby provided for enclosures having integrated handle features for storing one or more storage devices. The system includes a rigid frame and multiple bays. Each bay includes a body movably attached to the frame, wherein repositioning of the body with respect to the frame is restricted by at least one holding element of the frame to a limited range of motion. The body defines a receptacle for receiving and holding a storage device. Each bay also includes a lever arm rotatably attached to the frame, the lever arm comprising a cam surface to engage with the body and to move the body upon rotation of the lever arm. When the lever arm achieves a first position, the body engages the storage device with a communication channel, and when the lever arm achieves a second position, the body disengages the storage device from the communication channel.
