Abstract: Method and apparatus for populating and operating a storage enclosure carrier with multiple hot swappable storage devices. In some embodiments, a carrier housing having length, width and thickness dimensions is adapted to accommodate at least one hard disc drive (HDD) having a selected HDD form factor and configured for engagement in a storage enclosure housing. A plurality of solid state drives (SSDs) each conforming to a selected SSD form factor are supported within the length, width and thickness dimensions of the carrier housing. Each of the SSDs is individually retractable from a front facing portion of the carrier housing without removal of the carrier housing from the storage enclosure housing.

Abstract: Drive information related to data storage drives may be exchanged or communicated among switches and hosts to allow the switches and hosts access to the data storage drives. For example, each of the hosts may provide and maintain a storage stack to access data storage on storage drives operably coupled thereto and data storage drives operably coupled to other hosts.
