A rackmountable storage enclosure includes a chassis. The chassis includes one or more power supplies and a plurality of drawers, each extendable through a front surface of the chassis. Each drawer of the plurality of drawers provides mounting for one or more storage devices. All storage devices in any drawer of the plurality of drawers are inserted or removed through a common side of the drawer. Any storage device may be inserted or removed from any drawer of the plurality of drawers even if the side surfaces of the chassis are each parallel to and in contact with a wall, each of the walls extending forward at least to a fully extended length of any drawer.
