Abstract
A rail assembly is adapted for mounting a data storage device to a computer enclosure. The rail assembly comprises a rail and a fastener. The rail comprises a body and a latch so connected with the body as to be capable of a flexing movement relative to the body. The body forms a pair of first protrusions to define a gap therebetween and defining a pair of slots. The fastener comprises a base secured in the gap of the rail and a pair of fixing portions extending from the base through the slots of the rail to securely insert into a data storage device, thereby releasably locking the latch to a computer enclosure.
