ABSTRACT:
A Hard Disk Drive (“HDD”) bracket has a HDD bracket lever having an open position and a closed position, a side bracket, and a HDD bracket damping mechanism. The HDD bracket damping mechanism has an actuation mechanism slidably disposed within the side bracket, and a compressible insert disposed within the side bracket. The compressible insert has a surface abutting the actuation mechanism. When the HDD bracket lever is in the closed position, the actuation mechanism exerts pressure on the compressible insert such that the compressible insert protrudes from the side bracket.
