ABSTRACT:
A drive bracket (10) includes a locking device (30) to secure data storage devices (50) therein. The drive bracket has a bottom plate (11), and first and second side plates (12, 13). A plurality of slots (16) is defined in the side plates. The locking device is attached to the first side plate, and defines openings (31) corresponding to the slots. Two connecting arms (33) extend from the locking device in each opening. A handle (34) extends forwardly and outwardly from the connecting arms. A fastening portion (35) extends rearward and inwardly from the handle between junctions of the handle and the connecting arms. Pins (54) of each data storage device slide in the slots, with one leading pin riding over the fastening portion, and restrained by an end of the fastening portion. When the handle is pushed, the fastening portion is moved outwardly, and disengaged from the leading pin.
