The disk drive has a top surface (41), opposite side surfaces (43) and a back surface (45) perpendicular to the top surface. The disk drive has a first output connector on the back surface. The mounting bracket has a pair of feet (248) attached to the side surfaces of the disk drive and a mounting board (22) attached to the back surface of the disk drive. A resilient arm (5) with a protrusion (53) is formed on the resilient arm for engaging with the bar. The converter card is received in the mounting bracket, the converter card has a circuit board (31) parallel to the top surface of the disk drive.
