Abstract

A jacket for holding and retaining a disk drive unit in a computer device bay. The jacket protects the disk drive unit from damage during handling, use and storage. The configuration of the jacket permits electrical and electrical ground coupling of the disk drive unit to a computer device bay. The configuration of the jacket also permits engagement with a retaining mechanism in the computer device bay, and permits ejection from the computer device bay without imparting an excessive shock load to the disk drive unit.
