  • Patent number: 9064511
    Abstract: A removable hard drive storage device comprises: a housing having a first and second partition board each formed with a plurality of guiding grooves; a plurality of hard drive casings accommodated between the first and second partition boards. Each of the hard drive casings has a first side plate and a second side plate whose surfaces are each formed with a plurality of guiding units slidably disposed in the guiding grooves. Upper ends of the first and second side plates are each formed with an expansion unit for engaging the upper edges of the first and second partition boards, fixing the hard drive casing at a raised position in the accommodating space. Through the above structure, the hard drive casing can be fixed at the raised position in the accommodating space without separating from the housing for facilitating replacement of the hard drive and without using screws.
