A drive carrier for retaining a persistent storage drive in an enclosure. The drive carrier includes a mounting bracket, a handle coupled to the mounting bracket, and an electromagnetic interference (“EMI”) shielding apparatus disposed between mounting bracket and at least a portion of the handle. The mounting bracket is shaped to be coupled to the persistent storage drive. The EMI-shielding apparatus includes a plurality of EMI-shielding fingers. Each EMI-shielding finger includes a lower surface, an upper surface that is approximately parallel to the lower surface, and a contoured surface extending between the lower surface and the upper surface.
