Abstract
A housing for a hard disk drive includes an enclosure defining a window in a front side thereof for providing access to install the hard disk drive in the enclosure, a rotation arm having a front end and a back end, and a panel. The back end of the rotation arm is pivotally connected to a rear end of the enclosure, and the panel is pivotally connected to the front end of the rotation arm. The rotation arm and the panel are pivotable between a locked state in which the panel covers the window of the enclosure and the rotation arm abuts a lateral side of the enclosure, and an open state in which the panel is pulled away from the enclosure to expose the window.
