Abstract
A data storage apparatus includes a data storage device and a buffer frame. The data storage device has a housing with an outer surface. The buffer frame includes a casing and an elastomeric cushioning unit. The casing has a surrounding wall that surrounds the housing of the data storage device. The surrounding wall has an inner surface that forms a clearance with the outer surface of the housing. The cushioning unit is attached on the outer surface of the housing of the data storage device. The cushioning unit is disposed in the clearance, and is in tight contact with the inner surface of the surrounding wall of the casing for positioning the data storage device in the casing.
