Abstract
A hard drive is accessed by providing a chassis, mounting a slider for reciprocating into and out of the chassis, and mounting a hard drive housing for rotating in the chassis. The hard drive housing has a hard drive opening. The housing and the slider are connected so that the slider reciprocates out of the chassis to support the housing in response to the access opening of the housing being rotated out of the chassis, and so that the slider reciprocates into the chassis for storage, in response to the access opening being rotated into the chassis.
