  • Patent number: 9198318
    Abstract: A fixing mechanism for fixing a data storage device is disclosed. The fixing mechanism includes a first latching member, a second latching member and a pressing member. The first latching member is for latching a first hole, so as to fix a first side of a data storage device. The second latching member is connected to the first latching member for latching a second hole, so as to fix a second side of the data storage device. The pressing member is connected to the second latching member. The pressing member drives the second latching member to rotate in a first direction as being pressed, so as to separate the second latching member from the second hole, and further drives the first latching member to rotate in the first direction, so as to push the first side of the data storage device for lifting the data storage device.
