It's basically what makes the disk hot-pluggable; AFAIK Well, yes there is a "carrier" - the storagewarks SBB drive caddy. I think he is asking if any SCA drive will fit in the SBB, or if it needs to be a special one. I was wondering the same thing when I bought my AS1200, but i just ended up taking the backplane out, attaching some rails to some nice LVD Cheetahs that I had, and sliding them into the slots in the storageworks shelf - hung them off an LVD controller and it works great!
