Zusammenfassung:	A drive carrier comprises a front portion, a first lateral rail extending from the front portion, and a second lateral rail extending from the front portion. The front portion and first and second lateral rails form a frame configured to receive a media drive between the first and second lateral rails. The first lateral rail is formed from plastic and comprises a screw hole. When the media drive is received in the frame, the media drive is coupled to the first lateral rail by a screw inserted through the screw hole. The drive carrier also has a metal screw plate in-molded into the plastic of the first lateral rail surrounding the screw hole. The screw plate strengthens the first lateral rail around the rim of the screw hole to prevent the head of the screw from cracking the plastic and/or tearing through the plastic.
