ABSTRACT:
A drive bay module for a computer cabinet holds multiple peripheral drives. The drive bay module is easily uncoupled and rotated within the computer cabinet so that the drives remain in a upright orthogonal orientation whether the cabinet is positioned vertically or horizontally and the user does not have to rotate each individual drive separately. In addition, the drive bay module can be positioned toward either end of the computer cabinet. In an alternate embodiment, the drive bay module can be positioned and secured at any one of a plurality of angles within the receiving bay.
