Data storage device adaptor with securement mechanism

An apparatus, comprising:

• a printed circuit board;
• a connector coupled to the printed circuit board, wherein the connector is configured to couple the apparatus to a data storage device;
• and
• a securement mechanism for securing the data storage device to the apparatus attached to the printed circuit board, wherein the securement mechanism:
• comprises a ledge;
• is rotatable around a first point;
• and
• is attached to the apparatus via an attachment component disposed at the first point;
• wherein the ledge further comprises an aperture configured to interact with one or more locking features that are configured to deform prior to interacting with the aperture.

A method, comprising:

• configuring an apparatus with a first connector to a printed circuit board to couple the apparatus to a computing device;
• coupling a second connector to the printed circuit board, wherein the second connector is configured to couple the apparatus to a data storage device;
• and
• attaching a securement mechanism for securing the data storage device to the apparatus to the printed circuit board, wherein the securement mechanism:
• comprises a ledge;
• is rotatable around a first point;
• and
• can be configured into a first position configured to secure the data storage device to the apparatus;
• and
• wherein the ledge further comprises an aperture configured to interact with one or more locking features that are configured to deform prior to interacting with the aperture.
