Abstract

A storage device mounting apparatus includes a first slider (20) having a catch (26), a second slider (30) having a cutout (35), a bracket (40) and a fastener (50). The bracket defines an opening (42) in a front plate (41) thereof. The bracket forms a guideway (45) having an aperture (47), a rail (46) and a stop (49) from a bottom plate (44) thereof corresponding to the opening. In assembly, the sliders are attached to opposite sides of a storage device (10). The storage device is inserted into the bracket through the opening, the first slider sliding along the guideway and the second slider sliding the rail. The catch of the first slider engages in the aperture of the guideway, the cutout of the second slider engagingly receives the stop, and the fastener secures the first slider to the guideway.
