The storage transfer device may be mounted to a chassis with a multitude of electronic devices, e.g., a JBOD with HDDs, above the devices to be removed. The storage device may then be manipulated to mechanically unlatch the devices from the chassis and simultaneously attach the devices to the transfer device.

The devices may be re-installed later using the storage device and the reverse process.”
