1. An electronic device comprising:
a drive carrier, comprising:
a front structure having a first end, a second end, a front face, and a rear face opposite to the front face;
a first side structure extending perpendicularly from the first end, the first side structure having a keying protrusion; and
a second side structure extending perpendicularly from the second end, the front structure, the first side structure, and the second side structure in conjunction configured to receive a media drive such that the rear face of the front structure abuts a front face of the media drive and the keying protrusion extends beyond a rear face of the media drive;
a drive cage comprising a drive bay, a keying flange inside the drive bay, and a plurality of first guide members and a plurality of second guide members disposed alternating to each other along a width of the drive cage, wherein each of the plurality of first guide members has a first length and each of the plurality of second guide members has a second length smaller than the first length, and wherein each first and second guide members together define the drive bay among a plurality of drive bays of the drive cage; and
a backplane circuit board,
wherein, when the drive carrier is arranged in the drive bay in a first orientation, the keying protrusion is aligned with the keying flange to prevent the media drive to be coupled to the backplane circuit board, and
wherein, when the drive carrier is arranged in the drive bay in a second orientation that is opposite to the first orientation, the keying protrusion is aligned away from the keying flange to allow the media drive to be coupled to the backplane circuit board.
