A fixing apparatus (10) for storage devices (80) includes a drive bracket (20) and a fixing plate (40). The drive bracket includes a side panel (24) defining grooves (28) for slidingly receiving screws (82) that are attached on opposite sides of the storage devices. The fixing plate is attached on the side panel, and includes locking elements (44). Each locking element includes a spring portion (56), a stop wall (58), and a handle (60). To insert a storage device, the screws are slid along opposite grooves. One screw outward presses a spring portion, and causes it to be elastically deformed. When that screw has slid beyond the spring portion, the spring portion elastically returns to its original position. The stop wall and the side panel sandwich that screw therebetween. Up to three storage devices are thus secured within the drive bracket.
