The 2.5in SSD Assembly is used to adapt a 2.5" form
factor SSD to the 3.5" drive slots in the Ultrastar
Data60 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.
