System and method for storing a data storage device and method for manufacturing the same

A method for storing a data storage device wherein the data store device has a thickness defined between a first side and a second side of the data storage device wherein the data storage device has a first end and a second end wherein the first end of is opposite to the second end of the data storage device, the method having the steps:

• providing a base wherein the base has a first side and a second side wherein the first side is opposite to the second side wherein the base is made from a foam material wherein the base has a slot extending from the first side through the base to the second side of the base wherein the slot has a width defined between a first edge and a second edge of the slot wherein the thickness of the data storage device is greater than the width of the slot;
• and
• inserting the first end of the data storage device into the slot of the base wherein the first edge of the slot applies a force inward with respect to the first side of the data storage device wherein the second edge applies a force inward with respect to the second side of the data storage device wherein the data storage device connects to the base via the first edge and the second edge of the slot in the base and further wherein the second end of the data storage device extends outward with respect to the first side of the base.
