A carrier and associated methodology for removably supporting a plurality of data storage devices as a multiple disc array in a distributed storage system. The carrier defines attachment features for fixing each of the data storage devices to the carrier preventing movement of the data storage devices in relation to the carrier in response to a vibration stimulus. This reduction in vibration stimulus allows the individual data storage devices in the multiple disc array to increase the number of track per storage area. This benefit can be used to increase capacity, increase performance and increase reliability of the multiple disc array.
