ABSTRACT:
A computer provided with a computer body having a mounting receptacle in which a first hard disk drive (HDD) is detachably accommodated. The computer includes an HDD adapter that fits into the mounting receptacle instead of the first HDD. A second HDD smaller than the first HDD is detachably accommodated in the HDD adapter. Thus, the computer allows HDDs having different sizes to be selectively mounted thereon. Accordingly, a worker in a production line can easily mount the second HDD that is smaller than the first HDD on a mounting receptacle adapted for the first HDD by using the HDD adapter. A user of the computer can also easily exchange the first HDD for the second HDD by using the HDD adapter.
