Apparatus and method for supporting storage devices during manufacture. The apparatus comprises structural members 60 and plural slot carriers 64 received in bays in the apparatus. Each slot carrier carries at least one slot 62 arranged to receive a storage device, such as a disk drive. The slot carriers are insertable and/or removable from the bays through apertures at the front of the apparatus. Clamp assemblies 70 are arranged to releasably clamp the slot carrier to one or more structural members at the sides of the slot carrier. The structural member and slot carrier may have a rail and a channel so the slot carrier can be slide from the bay. The clamp mechanism may be an expandable rail assembly 70 operable to clamp opposed surfaces 102, 105 of the channel. The rail assembly may expand by movement of a ramp relative to a fixed ramp.
