Abstract
A disk drive mechanism includes a bracket and a tray slidably received in the bracket. The bracket includes a bottom wall, two sidewalls protruding from the bottom wall, two guiding rails fixed to the sidewalls respectively, and two sliding rails slidably coupled to the guiding rails respectively. The bottom wall and the sidewalls cooperatively define an entrance. Each guiding rail includes an end maintaining a distance from the entrance. The tray is slidably coupled to the sliding rails and is capable of being inserted into and ejected out of the bracket from the entrance via the sliding rails. A supporting member is arranged between the end of each guiding rail and the entrance. The supporting member is used to support the sliding rails in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the tray inserted into the bracket. An electronic device using the disk drive mechanism is also provided.
