Abstract
A storage tray for holding different sized data storage media, such as diskettes, has more than one mode. The storage tray has a flat bottom having an upper surface and opposite front and rear walls which extend upward from the bottom. A pair of opposite sidewalls extend between the front and rear walls and are provided with an inwardly protruding ledge to define a recessed portion in which diskettes of a first size are stored. At least one removable plate having a center partition inserts into the storage tray and is supported on the opposite ledges so that the lower surface of the tray faces the bottom. The plate allows diskettes of a second, smaller size to be stored on the upper surface of the plate on either side of the partition and between the sidewalls of the storage tray. Dividing members can be inserted into the plate slots for supporting the diskettes of the second size. The dividing members releasably couple together. The legs of the dividing members are inserted into corresponding opposite divider slots of the opposite ledges, when the dividing members are coupled together, for supporting the diskettes of the first size.
