Abstract
A mounting apparatus for a data storage device (10) with a plurality of protrusions (14) formed thereon. The mounting apparatus comprises a bracket (30), a pair of retaining members (50), and a pair of latches (70). A pair of openings (40) is defined in each side plate (34) of the bracket. The retaining members are attached to inner sides of the side plates and each comprises a pair of retaining portions (58). The retaining portions each comprise a resilient arm (60) and a positioning portion (58). The protrusions are limited in a space defined by the resilient arm and the positioning portion. A hook (610) is formed on the resilient arm and extends through corresponding opening. The latches are pivotally attached to outsides of the bracket and ends are received in corresponding hooks. The data storage device is released from the bracket by pressing the latches.
