ABSTRACT:
A carrying case for a portable hard disk drive. The carrying case is particularly adapted to hold a hard disk drive that complies with the PCMCIA specifications. The case includes a cover that is pivotally connected to a base, so that the cover can be rotated between open and closed positions. Within the base portion of the case is an elastic insert which contains a slot that can receive a drive unit. The elastic insert is constructed to significantly dampen any shock load that is applied to the case and prevent damage to the drive unit.
