Mounting apparatus for data storage device

A mounting apparatus adapted for attaching a data storage device to a computer chassis, the mounting apparatus comprising:

• a first bracket comprising a bottom wall and a pair of side walls extending therefrom, the side walls defining a plurality of slots therein;
• a second bracket comprising a base and a pair of side plates extending therefrom which cooperate to define a space for receiving the data storage device, a plurality of pins extending outwardly from the side plates for slideably engaging in the slots of the first bracket, a plurality of positioning devices formed at the second bracket for engaging with the data storage device, a plurality of resilient members formed at the second bracket for abutting the first bracket;
• and
• a latch attached to one of the side walls of the first bracket, the latch comprising a main body and a fastening portion formed from the main body, the fattening portion and a corresponding slot cooperatively defining a space for fastening the pin therein.

A drive bracket assembly comprising:

• a data storage device;
• a support bracket defining a receiving cavity retainably receiving said data storage device therein, said support bracket including:
• a bottom wall and first and second side walls extending from the bottom wall, means for resiliently supporting the data storage device formed on an interior surface of the support bracket, and a first engagement device formed on an exterior;
• and
• a drive bracket defining a receiving cavity retainably receiving said support bracket therein, said drive bracket including a bottom face and first and second side faces extending from the bottom face, a second engagement device and a releasable latching device formed on the at least one of said side faces;
• wherein
• the support bracket with the associated data storage device are commonly assembled to the drive bracket to have the first and second engagement devices engaged with each other, and the latching device prevents disengagement between the first and second engagement device unless released.
