A disc drive including a frame, a tray, a movable element and a buffer portion is provided. The tray is slidably disposed in the frame and includes a sliding groove. The movable element includes a protrusion slidably disposed on the sliding groove. The buffer portion is disposed adjacent to an end of the sliding groove. During the disc ejecting process, the protrusion contacts the buffer portion, to reduce the tray ejection speed.
