Abstract
HDD detachable from a computer body is contained in a double-structured case unit having an inner case member and an outer case member. The case unit comprises a first lock mechanism for locking HDD contained in the inner case member, and a second lock mechanism for locking the inner case member contained in the outer case member. For connecting HDD to the computer body, the inner case member is pushed from the outer case member to an outer unit by a guide mechanism. By the release of the first lock mechanism, HDD taken out from the inner case member is inserted to a slot of the computer body, and connected to the computer body through a connector.
