Mounting apparatus assembly for data storage devices

A mounting apparatus assembly comprising:

• a bracket defining a receiving cavity with two sliding channels by two sides thereof;
• a stopper structure formed on the bracket to limit further forward movement of a data storage device along said sliding channels when said data storage device is inserted into the receiving cavity from a rear end of the bracket;
• a resilient member located around said rear end with a retaining protrusion thereon to prevent the data storage device from rearward moving once said data storage device is forwardly and fully assembled into the receiving cavity from the rear end;
• and
• a handle attached to a rear portion of the data storage device for rearwardly withdrawing the data storage device out of the receiving cavity of the bracket under a condition that the resilient member is outwardly deflected to have the corresponding retaining protrusion disengaged from the data storage device;
• wherein
• because the handle and the resilient member are both located at the rear end of the bracket, a structure of a front end of the bracket is simplified to allow a bezel to be closely and easily located in front of the bracket without interference.

A mounting apparatus assembly comprising:

• a data storage device having a stud on one exterior wall;
• a bracket defining a receiving cavity with two sliding channels by two sides thereof, said sliding channel dimensioned to receive said stud therein;
• a resilient member located in one end section of one of the sliding channels with a retaining protrusion thereon to abut against said stud for preventing the data storage device from backwardly moving opposite to an insertion direction once said data storage device is fully assembled into the receiving cavity along said insertion direction;
• wherein
• the resilient member is outwardly deflected to have the corresponding retaining protrusion disengaged from the stud so as to allow the data storage device to be withdrawn from the receiving cavity backwardly.
