Abstract: In one aspect, a carrier (10) for a data storage device has a base (22) and side walls (23,24) upstanding from the base (22). A runner (25) is provided on at least one side wall (23,24) for sliding engagement with a runner (12) of a chassis (1) in which the carrier (10) is in use mounted. The carrier runner (25) is on the edge of the at least side wall (23,24) that is opposite the base (22). The width of the carrier runner (25) generally transverse to the side wall (23,24) is greater than the thickness of the at least one side wall (23,24). In another aspect, a carrier (10) for a data storage device has a base (22) and side walls (23,24) upstanding from the base (22). The material of the carrier (10) is resilient. The carrier (10) is arranged such that the carrier (10) can grip a data storage device between the side walls (23,24).

Abstract: In one aspect, a data storage device carrier (10) has a bay in which a data storage device can be received. A light pipe (11) is provided for conveying light from one end of the carrier (10) to the other. A diffuser (16) is located near to but spaced from said other end of the light pipe (11) so as to spread and thereby magnify light emerging from said other end of the light pipe (11). In another aspect, a data storage device chassis (1) has a plurality of walls (3,4,20). At least some of the walls (3,4,20) have at least one runner (21) along at least part of the length of the wall (3,4,20) to define a plurality of bays in which data storage devices can be housed. At least one runner (21) has a transparent portion so as to be able to convey light from a light source (9) to the front of the chassis (1). In another aspect, a data storage device carrier (10 or chassis (1) has a strip of electroluminescent material (31) for displaying information.
