Abstract
A fastening device () for securing data storage devices () includes a drive bracket (), and a fixing plate (). The drive bracket includes two sidewalls () defining grooves () for slidably receiving screws () engaged in opposite sides of each data storage device. One of the sidewalls comprises two supporting tabs () each defining a pivot aperture (). The fixing plate includes two locking blocks () defined in a first portion () thereof, two resilient members () stamped from a second portion () thereof, and two opposite pivot axes () extending outwardly from a flange () thereof. The locking blocks are corresponding to the grooves defined in the sidewall, and the pivot axes are engaged with the pivot apertures. The fixing plate can pivot about the supporting tabs, thereby the data storage devices can be readily received in or removed out from the drive bracket.
