An apparatus for mounting a storage media device on a chassis comprising:
- a first engagement unit having a first electronics attachment portion configured to engage with a first portion of the storage media device, a first chassis attachment portion configured to attach to the chassis, and a first flexible sheet connected to the first electronics attachment portion at a first planar end and connected to the first chassis attachment portion at another planar end opposite to the first planar end;
- a second engagement unit having a second electronics attachment portion configured to engage with a second portion of the storage media device, a second chassis attachment portion configured to attach to the chassis, and a second flexible sheet connected to the second electronics attachment portion at a first planar end and connected to the second chassis attachment portion at another planar end opposite to the first planar end,
- wherein the said first flexible sheet and second flexible sheet incorporate a shock absorbing configuration to thereby mitigate effects of a shock or impact on the storage media device.
