ABSTRACT:
A hard-disk drive tray assembly includes an adapter, a tray, and a bezel. The adapter and tray are designed with slots and protrusions such that the adapter can be secured to the tray without the use of tools, screws, or nuts. The bezel pivots horizontally about the tray and comprises at least one incorporated inserter/extractor lever thereby allowing a user to insert and extract the hard-disk drive tray assembly using just one hand. The bezel has a built-in handle which allows a user to securely grasp onto the hard-disk drive tray assembly during transportation from one location to another. Furthermore, the bezel comprises a translucent or transparent LED display window for providing an external means of visually monitoring the typical LED status indication light which is integral to the hard-disk drive without having to run additional wiring from the hard-disk drive to an externally mounted LED light.
