The method of claim 9, further comprising inserting the storage device transporter into the test slot, engaging the first storage device with a respective connector of the storage device testing system, the inserted storage device transporter providing closure of the test slot. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the first untested storage device is present in a storage device tote presented to the storage device testing system. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising actuating the automated transporter to retrieve the first untested storage device from the storage device tote with the storage device transporter by positioning the storage device transporter below the first untested storage device, lifting the first untested storage device off a storage device support of the storage device tote, and carrying the first untested storage device in the storage device transporter away from the storage device tote. 13. The method of claim 7, wherein the test slot comprises a first test slot and wherein the method further comprises actuating the automated transporter and the manipulator to retrieve a tested storage device from a second test slot and carrying the tested storage device to a destination location. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising actuating the automated transporter to retrieve the tested storage device from the second test slot by actuating the manipulator to engage a respective storage device transporter of the tested storage device and carrying the tested storage device with its respective storage device transporter to the destination location. 15.
