Embodiments disclose a conversion sleeve for connecting smaller form factor drives to a receptacle of a larger form factor drive. The conversion sleeve has an outer frame shaped to fit within the receptacle of the larger form factor drive. Within the conversion sleeve is at least one channel for receiving a smaller form factor drive. The smaller form factor drive is hot swappable. On a side of the conversion sleeve, a spring-locking mechanism is design to lock into an existing aperture of the receptacle. The conversion sleeve also includes an interposer to bring the smaller form factor drive to the receiving end of the conversion sleeve for easy access.
