A constraint mechanism includes a constraint component disposed on a second housing, and a flexible component disposed on a first housing. The constraint component includes a guide slot and an engaging portion. The flexible component includes a main body, a bending portion and a contacting portion. A first edge of the main body is fixed by a side of an opening on the first housing. A first side of the bending portion is connected to the main body, and is located at a position adjacent to a second edge of the main body. The contacting portion is disposed on a second side of the bending portion. A rim of the contacting portion is an arc structure. The contacting portion moves along the guide slot, so that the arc structure can be constrained by the engaging portion, to constrain a movement of the first housing relative to the second housing.

An external storage device enclosure includes a box-body portion and a cover-body portion. The box-body portion supports a storage device, and has a connection port. The cover-body portion includes a cover-board and a top-board. A first-side of the top-board connects the cover-board. The top-board is pivotally connected to the box-body portion through a rotation axis located a second-side of the top-board. When the cover-body portion rotates around the rotation axis and covers the storage device, a driving element of the cover-board contacts a first-side of the storage device to electrically connect a connection slot of the storage device and the connection port. When the cover-body portion rotates around the rotation axis and exposes the storage device, a releasing element located at the first-side of the top-board contacts a second-side of the storage device to electrically separate the connection slot of the storage device from the connection port.
