ABSTRACT:
A mounting apparatus includes a computer drive bracket (10), an operating body (20) attached to a lateral wall (12) of the drive bracket, a data storage device (30), and two slide members (40) attached to sides of the storage device. First and second holes (126, 123) are defined in the wall, and a stop plate (124) is formed from the wall. The operating body includes: a resilient tongue (28) having a first wedge (22); and a second wedge (27). The first and second wedges engage in the first and second holes respectively. One slide member includes a protrusion (49′) and a buffer (47′). The protrusion snappingly engages with the first wedge so that it abuts the first wedge and prevents said slide member from moving back out from the drive bracket. The buffer abuts the stop plate and prevents the slide member from moving too far into the drive bracket.
