ABSTRACT:
A removable data storage cartridge having a releasable shutter assembly. The shutter assembly rotatably maintains a data storage media and includes a first half and a second half. In this regard, at least a portion of an outer periphery of the first half is configured to releasably engage at least a portion of an outer periphery of the second half. With this configuration, the first half can easily be disassembled from the second half for replacing the media if found to be defective. In one preferred embodiment, the shutter assembly further includes a hinge integrally formed with the first half and the second half for facilitating axial assembly of the first half to the second half.
