A rotational retaining mechanism for storage devices allows storage devices to be unlocked quickly in a rotatable way thereby enlarging the operating space in a housing. The rotational retaining mechanism includes a housing, a modular frame for receiving storage devices and a retaining buckle. The housing has a bottom board, a stopping part protruded upwardly from the bottom board, and a front board. The front board has a receiving entry and a pair of pivotal parts respectively formed at two sides thereof. The module frame has a pair of pivotal parts for mounting pivotally with the pivotal parts of the housing, a holding tab, and a clipping part. The holding tab is held by the stopping part of the housing, when the module frame is opened. The retaining buckle is positioned on the housing and clipped with the clipping part when the modular frame is closed.
