Abstract
A mounting apparatus for securing a data storage device includes a mounting tray, which includes a bottom wall, two sidewalls perpendicularly extending from the bottom wall, a positioning protrusion extending from the bottom wall, and a latching protrusion extending from each sidewall. The latching protrusions are configured for being received in latching holes defined in the data storage device. Each sidewall is elastically deformable. A distance between the two sidewalls is substantially equal to a width of the data storage device. An extending direction of the positioning protrusion is substantially perpendicular to an extending direction of the latching protrusion. An electronic device with the mounting apparatus is further disclosed.
