Storage drive carrier and chassis

A chassis comprising:

• multiple storage drive carriers, each storage drive carrier including:
• a body configured to receive a storage drive, the body having a first length in a first direction, a second length in a second direction, and a third length in a third direction, the third length being below the first length, the first length being below the second length, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction being perpendicular to one another, and
• a protrusion configured to receive a first circuit board for transmitting data, the protrusion being arranged together with the body in the third direction,
• wherein the protrusion is positioned within an area delimited by a center line of a face of the body and sides of the face, the protrusion is provided on the face, and wherein the center line bisects the face and is parallel with the second direction;
• wherein a first storage drive carrier is configured to be stacked with a second storage drive carrier, the protrusion of the first storage drive carrier facing another area of the second storage drive carrier except for an area provided with an additional protrusion;
• wherein the chassis further comprises:
• a third storage drive carrier stacked, in the third direction, near the first and second storage drive carriers, wherein the third storage drive carrier is configured to receive a third storage drive having a different type than storage drives received in the first and second storage drive carriers;
• and
• a shell configured to receive the first and second storage drive carriers and the third storage drive carrier.

A method for manufacturing a storage drive carrier, the method comprising:

• providing a body configured to receive a storage drive, the body having a first length in a first direction, a second length in a second direction, and a third length in a third direction, the third length being below the first length, the first length being below the second length, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction being perpendicular to one another;
• and
• configuring the body with a protrusion to receive a first circuit board for transmitting data, the protrusion being arranged together with the body in the third direction;
• wherein the protrusion is positioned within an area delimited by a center line of a face of the body and sides of the face, the protrusion is provided on the face, and wherein the center line bisects the face and is parallel with the second direction.
