Abstract

A data storage device assembly includes a data storage device having two opposite sidewalls, a supporting bracket, a positioning member mounted on the supporting bracket, a pressing member movably attached to the positioning member, and a driving member movably connected with the pressing member. The sidewalls of the data storage device form a first and second positioning post. The supporting bracket has a sidewall defines two guiding slots for receiving the first and second positioning post in a first direction. The pressing member defines a first receiving portion for receiving and locating the first positioning post in a second direction. The driving member has a driving portion. When the pressing member is pressed, the pressing member urges the driving portion to resist against the second positioning post, thereby causing the first positioning post to disengage from the first receiving portion and the corresponding guiding slot.
