ABSTRACT:
A disk drive with an ejection apparatus having a locking pin and a latch is provided. The locking pin is movably disposed on the tray while the latch is rotatably disposed on the housing. The latch includes a blocking part and a guiding part. When a tray is received in the disk drive, the blocking part of the latch engages with the locking pin. When the tray is ejected, the tray is pushed toward the inner space of the housing. Subsequently, the locking pin escapes from the blocking part and moves to the guiding part of the latch. The locking pin moves along the guiding part and therefore the tray is ejected.
