A mounting apparatus for data storage device (50) with securing holes (52) defined therein, includes a base (20) and a pivot member (30) with one end pivotally attached to the base. The base includes at least a securing piece (241) corresponding to the securing hole of the data storage device and a clip (2231) protruded therefrom. The pivot member includes at least a securing piece (321) corresponding to the securing hole of the data storage device and an opening (343) corresponding to the clip. The clip of the base engages into the opening of the pivot member for mounting the data storage device when the pivot member rotates to a locked position. The clip of the base disengages from the opening of the flange panel of the pivot member when the pivot member rotates to an unlocked position.

The mounting assembly as described in claim 1, wherein at least a pair of securing holes is respectively defined in opposite sides of the data storage device, and at least a pair of opposite securing pieces extends respectively from the first side panel of the base and the second side panel of the pivot member for inserting into the respective securing holes to thereby secure the data storage device between of the first and second side panels. 3. The mounting assembly as described in claim 1, wherein an arc-shaped slot is defined in the bottom panel of the base, and a guiding post capable of sliding along the arc-shaped slot extends down from the flange panel of the pivot member. 4. The mounting assembly as described in claim 3, wherein the guiding post slides to an inner end of the arc-shaped slot when the pivot member rotates to the locked position and to an outer end of the arc-shaped slot when the pivot member rotates to an unlocked position where the clip of the resilient piece is disengaged from the opening of the pivot member. 5. The mounting assembly as described in claim 1, wherein the base further comprises a catch extending from the bottom panel thereof, a rolled portion caught by the catch extends from an end edge of the flange panel of the pivot member. 6. The mounting assembly as described in claim 1, wherein the resilient piece is perpendicular to the side panel of the pivot member when the pivot member is in the locked position and is deformable in a direction perpendicular to the bottom panel of the base. 7. The mounting assembly as described in claim 1, further comprising a chassis for accommodating the base, the pivot member, and the data storage device therein, wherein an interspace is configured between the bottom panel of the base and the chassis for allowing the free end of the resilient piece deforming down freely. 8. A mounting apparatus for a data storage device with securing holes defined therein, comprising: a base comprising a bottom panel with a clip protruding therefrom and a first side panel with at least a securing piece corresponding to at least one of the securing holes of the data storage device extending therefrom; and a pivot member with one end pivotally attached to the bottom panel of the base, comprising a second side panel and a flange panel connecting with the second side panel, an opening corresponding to the clip being defined in the flange panel, at least a securing piece corresponding to at least one of the securing holes of the data storage device extending from the second side panel; wherein the pivot member is capable of being rotated relative to the base to deform the clip, and the clip rebounds to engage in the opening of the pivot member when the pivot member rides over the clip and rotates to a locked position. 9. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 8, wherein a pivot hole is defined in the flange panel of the pivot member, and a pivot post extending through the pivot hole protrudes upwardly from the bottom panel of the base. 10. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 9, wherein an arc-shaped slot is defined in the bottom panel of the base, and a guiding post capable of sliding along the arc-shaped slot extends from the flange panel of the pivot member. 11. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 10, wherein the guiding post slides to one end of the slot when the pivot member rotates to the locked position and to another end of the slot when the pivot member rotates to an unlocked position. 12. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 10, wherein the pivot hole is defined in one end of the flange panel of the pivot member, a rolled portion is formed at an opposite end of the flange panel of the pivot member, and a catch corresponding to the rolled portion is formed on the bottom panel of the base. 13. The mounting apparatus as described in claim 12, wherein the rolled portion engages with the catch in a direction perpendicular to the flange panel when the pivot member rotates to the locked position and disengages from the catch when the pivot member rotates to the unlocked position. 14.
