A locking member formed of resilient material for locking a disk drive within a computer enclosure includes a first cantilevered beam portion positioned along a first side of the disk drive. A first locking protrusion is positioned on the first cantilevered beam portion and is capable of engaging with the enclosure for locking the disk drive therein. A handle portion extends from the cantilevered beam portion for resiliently bending the first cantilevered beam portion inwardly to disengage the first locking protrusion from the enclosure.
