The base part is disposed corresponding to a first side edge of the memory storage unit and has a fixed end and a pivot end. The fixed arm extends from the fixed end of the base part. The holding arm is pivoted on the pivot end of the base part and spaced with the fixed arm. The base part has a working space in which an elastic element is disposed. The holding arm has a stop end extending into the working space. Thus, the elastic element exerts a force on the stop end such that the holding arm moves toward and clamps the third side edge of the memory storage unit.

An expansion card holder for fixing an expansion card on a circuit board is provided. A connector is arranged on the circuit board and an end of the expansion card is coupled with the connector. The expansion card holder includes a carrier plate, a positioning buckle and a pressing block. The carrier plate is fixed on the circuit board, and multiple position holes arranged in a row are defined on the carrier plate. The positioning buckle is inserted in one of the position holes and engaged with the circuit board. The pressing block is inserted in another one of the position holes and engaged with the expansion card. The expansion card holder is thereby compatible with various sizes of expansion cards.
A storage device holding mechanism is provided, including a holding frame and a detaching mechanism. The holding frame holds a storage device; the holding frame includes a bottom plate and includes a first side plate and a second side plate connected to the bottom plate. The detaching mechanism is assembled to one side of the first side plate and includes a push rod and a latch structure for fastening the push rod. The push rod is slidable to be fastened to the latch structure in a fastened position or to be separated from the latch structure in a detached position. When the push rod is in the fastened position, one end of the push rod is flush with one side of the holding frame. When the push rod is released from the latch structure, the push rod slides to the detached position.
