Abstract
A mounting device for mounting a data storage device to a receiving bracket of a computer enclosure includes a board body and at least one grounding clip. Two of the mounting devices are attached to opposite sides of the data storage device and engage with the receiving bracket. Each grounding clip includes a securing section, a first section and a second section. A bolt extends through a hole defined in the securing section of the grounding clip and a through hole defined in the board body for engaging with a screw hole defined in the data storage device thereby fixing the grounding clip and the board body to the data storage device. The fist and second sections of each grounding clip form a plurality of fingers for respectively contacting the data storage device and the computer enclosure thereby forming a grounding path therebetween while fixing the data storage device to the computer enclosure.
