The 2.5" carrier assembly is used to adapt a 2.5" form factor data storage drive to the 3.5" drive slots in
the Ultrastar Serv60+8 drive bays. This allows the enclosure to accommodate high speed SSD drives as
its primary data storage medium. The carrier operates by utilizing an innovative clamping mechanism.
The 2.5" drive is seated in the orientation shown the overview image. Then the clamp is inserted to apply
pressure to the SSD and secure it in place.
