The support member adapted for receiving a data storage device (10) thereon includes a main board (32) and a front board (34). A pair of hooks (322) is arranged on the main board. The front board defines an opening (342) for extension of the data storage device therethrough. The lock member for securing the data storage device to the support member includes a lateral plate (22) and a bottom plate (24). Each of lock members has a symmetrical configuration about a central transverse axis thereof. The bottom plate defines at least one locking slot (242) engagingly receiving a corresponding one of the hooks. The fasteners fixedly secure the bottom plates of the lock members to the support member.
