ABSTRACT:
A data storage file, for use with removable data storage media, is provided with a latch mechanism. The removable, data storage media, is provided with a containing protective sleeve.
When the removable media, contained within the protective sleeve, is inserted into the data storage file, the latch mechanism actively retains the removable media, allowing the independent withdrawal, from the data storage file, of the protective sleeve, leaving the removable media loaded in the data storage file.
When the protective sleeve is re-inserted into the data storage file, so as to contain the removable media, already loaded in the data storage file, the latch mechanism lets go of the removable media, allowing the withdrawal, from the data storage file, of the removable media, contained in and together with the protective sleeve.
The protective sleeve actively retaining the removable media, the removable media is within the protective sleeve at all times if it is not loaded in the data storage file.
