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 Data102 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.
