1. A carrier for solid state devices, the carrier comprising:
a plurality of panels including a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel;
at least one gate attached to the second panel and the third panel, the at least one gate configured to be in one of a first position or a second position, wherein when the at least one gate is in the first position, an opening for receiving solid state devices is at least partially occluded to a first width that is smaller than a length of one of the solid state devices, and when the at least one gate is in the second position, the opening for receiving the solid state devices is increased to a second width that is larger than the length of the one of the solid state devices;
an addition attached to the second panel and the third panel, the addition configured to interface with a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA);
wherein the PCBA includes at least one solid state device (SSD) backplane to which an SSD backplane sled is attached; and
wherein a first SSD backplane is attached to a first side of the SSD backplane sled and a second SSD backplane is attached to a second side of the SSD backplane sled, the first side and the second side being opposite sides.
