ABSTRACT:
A fastening structure of a disk drive having a pair of dovetail seat plates is mounted to the lateral edges of the disk drive. Each end of the plate is dovetail shaped and the center region of the plate is extended upward to form a fastening plate having an inverse "L" shape. The end edge of the fastening plate is extended upward to form a press portion. The surface of the fastening plate is provided with a protruded strip. A disk drive securing support has two lateral sides for the mounting of disk drive. The inner wall of the lateral side has a dovetail groove of width corresponding to the dovetail seat plate. The lateral wall is provided with hole corresponding to the protruded strip. When mounting the disk drive, the dovetail seat plate is engaged into the dovetail groove of the disk drive securing support so as to cause the protruded strip to fasten with the hole, to complete the fastening of the disk drive. When the disk drive is to be disconnected, the fastening plate is pressed inward to cause the protruded strip to disengage from the hole so as to withdraw the disk drive.
