Abstract: A storage assembly, system, and method provide a common platform that supports storage devices of different transverse dimensions. The storage assembly comprises a first storage device compactly disposed in a first storage carrier. The first storage device has a transverse dimension (e.g., a width) that is larger than that of second storage devices specifically designed to be compactly coupled to the common platform via an array of connectors. The storage device further comprises an interposer assembly coupled to a data interface of the first storage device. When the first storage carrier is placed for coupling the first storage device to an opposing connector of the array of connectors, the interposer assembly is disposed between the first storage device and the opposing connector to cause the first storage device to be displaced laterally away from an adjacent connector while coupling the first storage device to the opposing connector.

Abstract: An information handling system (‘IHS’) cooling apparatus includes a blank base comprising a pair of opposing ends. A connector engagement member extends from each opposing end of the blank base. A notch feature is defined by the blank base and located on each opposing end of the blank base. A contacts channel is defined by the blank base and the connector engagement members and extends between the opposing ends of the blank base. The IHS cooling apparatus may be secured in an IHS connector in order to direct airflow over memory devices secured in adjacent IHS connectors.
