ABSTRACT:
An electronic storage unit, which may contain a hard disk drive, is configured to removably mount to a recessed surface of a console. The housing includes a lip and a biased latch arm so that the lip can be inserted into a corresponding feature in the recessed surface and the electronic storage unit can be rotatably mounted to the recessed surface. A cable connector extends from the bottom of the electronic storage unit and is configured to connect to a receptor on the console when the electronic storage unit is installed. The cable connector is configured with asymmetrical guideposts to aid in aligning the electronic storage unit for rotational insertion into the console. The electronic storage unit can be readily removed from the console.
