Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a hard disk carrier 1 suitable for accommodating a hard disk 9. The hard disk 9 can be, but is not limited to, any existing commercially available 3.5-inch hard disk or other models or sizes of hard disks, and the present invention is not limited to this. The hard disk 9 can be installed on the hard disk carrier 1 by any suitable method such as directly embedded in the hard disk carrier 1 or screwed to the hard disk carrier 1, and the present invention is not limited to this.

In addition, generally speaking, the housing (for example, the front side) of the hard disk has a specific area for the barcode identification sticker to be installed. As shown in Figure 1, one side (such as the front end) of the hard disk 9 can have a code area A, and the manufacturer can send the barcode (such as one-dimensional code, two-dimensional code, etc.) containing the information (such as model, specification, etc.) of the hard disk Code or three-dimensional code) is printed on the identification sticker and pasted in the area, such as the identification sticker S in the barcode area A, the identification sticker S is printed with a one-dimensional barcode that can represent the model of the hard disk 9, but as shown in the figure The range of the barcode area A, the position, size, quantity and the type of barcode on the identification sticker S are for illustrative purposes only, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

In order to enable the staff to scan and identify the sticker S when the hard disk 9 is installed on the hard disk carrier 1, the hard disk carrier 1 has a special structural design. Specifically, in this embodiment, the hard disk carrier 1 may include a carrier portion 10, a front baffle 20 and a locking portion 30. Roughly, the disk carrying portion 10 is box-shaped, and is a part of the hard disk carrying disk 1 for accommodating the hard disk 9. One end of the front baffle 20 can be pivoted to one end of the disk carrying portion 10 and can be opposite to the axis AX The tray 10 rotates to open (as shown by the dotted line) or close (as shown by the solid line). When the front baffle 20 is closed, its end relatively far away from the axis AX can be fixed to the disk carrying portion 10 via the locking portion 30, so that the front baffle 20 is blocked on one side of the hard disk 9; and the front baffle 20 is opened At this time, the front baffle 20 can be used as a handle for the user to hold and move the hard disk carrier 1.

Further, in this embodiment, the front baffle 20 may have a pivoting end 21 and a free end 22. The pivoting end 21 is an end of the front baffle 20 pivoted to the tray 10, and the free end 22 is the distal end of the front baffle 20 relative to the pivotal end 21.
