There are two drive guiding pecks on either side of the drive and a metal flap in the rear that adjusts automatically based on drive's height. Each guiding pecks clamp the drive tightly while the adjustable metal flap pushes the drive down, making a stable SATA connection. Ultimately, these features are designed to prevent unintended drive ejection that may result in possible data damage.
