[0005] The aforementioned device uses a plug-in component to move the bracket assembly during use, thereby facilitating the installation of hard drives. However, the plug-in component in the aforementioned device only moves the bracket assembly, making disassembly inconvenient and affecting user operation. Therefore, in actual use, disassembly may be inconvenient. Utility Model Content
