Abstract
An accommodation structure includes a frame, a first connector disposed on a first side of the frame, and a second connector disposed on a second side of the frame. When the first storage device is connected to the first connector, the first storage device occupies a first portion of the accommodation space. When the second storage device is connected to the second connector, the second storage device occupies a second portion of the accommodation space. In addition, the first portion at least partially overlaps the second portion.

- a frame, comprising a first side wall, a second side wall and a third side wall, the second side wall and the third side wall respectively connected to two ends of the first side wall, the first side wall, the second side wall, and the third side wall cooperatively forming an accommodation space, the accommodation space being configured for selectively accommodating one of a first storage device and a second storage device;
- a first connector, disposed on the first side wall of the frame, and configured to be connected to the first storage device;
- wherein when the first storage device is connected to the first connector, the first storage device occupies a first portion of the accommodation space;
- a second connector, disposed on the second side wall of the frame, and configured to be connected to the second storage device;
- wherein when the second storage device is connected to the second connector, the second storage device occupies a second portion of the accommodation space;
- and
- a positioning structure, disposed on the third side wall and located corresponding to the second connector on the second side wall, and configured for positioning a free end of the second storage device;
- wherein at least part of the first portion of the accommodation space is part of the second portion of the accommodation space.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a storage device, which is selected from a group comprising a first storage device and a second storage device;
- a frame, comprising a first side wall, a second side wall and a third side wall, the second side wall and the third side wall respectively connected to two ends of the first side wall, the first side wall, the second side wall, and the third side wall cooperatively forming an accommodation space, the accommodation space being configured for accommodating the storage device;
- a first connector, disposed on the first side wall of the frame;
- wherein when the storage device is the first storage device, the first connector is configured to be connected to the first storage device, and the first storage device is located at a first portion of the accommodation space;
- a second connector, disposed on the second side wall of the frame;
- wherein when the storage device is the second storage device, the second connector is configured to be connected to the second storage device, and the second storage device is located at a second portion of the accommodation space;
