Abstract
A carrier assembly for installing a hard disk drive (HDD) rapidly without tools or screws or other fasteners disk includes a bracket and a carrier. The carrier is movably disposed within the bracket. The hard disk drive is disposed with the carrier. The bracket includes a side plate and a plurality of first protrusions arranged on the side plate along with electrical connectors. The side plate defines interconnecting slots, a vertical first slot and a horizontal second slot. The carrier includes a lateral plate, a rotating handle connected to the lateral plate, and second protrusions arranged on the lateral plate. When the rotating handle is manually rotated, the second protrusion becomes locked within the first slot or the second slot to fix the HDD in place.
