Mounting apparatus for data storage device

A mounting apparatus for a data storage device, comprising:

• a chassis comprising at least one side wall, the side wall defining a locking hole;
• a bracket configured for receiving the data storage device therein, the bracket slidably received in the chassis, the bracket comprising a head portion, and the head portion defining a pair of sliding grooves extending in a first direction on opposite sides of the head portion;
• a locking piece slidably attached to the head portion of the bracket with one end of the locking piece inserted in the locking hole of the chassis, the locking piece having a driven edge extending in a second direction aslant with respect to the first direction;
• and
• a sliding member slidably mounted on the head portion, the sliding member comprising a pair of clasps respectively slidably received in the sliding grooves to sandwich the head portion therebetween, the sliding member comprising a driving post resisting against the driven edge of the locking piece in a manner such that when the sliding member slides on the head portion with the clasps of the sliding member sliding in the sliding grooves of the head portions in the first direction, the driving post slides and exerts force on the driven edge of the locking piece to drive the locking piece to slide out of the locking hole.
