Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems for removably mounting a Solid State Drive (SSD) to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) device without use of a tool. An exemplary system comprises a top portion and at least two flexible legs. Each leg comprises a vertical member attached to the top portion, and a tab for insertion into the PCB, the tab restricting the motion of the drive enclosure with respect to the PCB when inserted into the PCB, thereby allowing for removable attachment of the enclosure to the PCB without use of a tool. The drive enclosure itself is adapted to receive the SSD and adapted to align the SSD for physical coupling with a connector for the PCB.
