Patent attributes
Without increasing the volume of information device main body, it is possible to arrange two disc devices superimposed in a horizontal direction or a vertical direction in a standardized half-height drive bay, thereby enabling simultaneous drive of a plurality of optical discs and improving operability such as mounting of the optical discs. A disc device A can accept a single disc or double discs horizontally or vertically in the drive bay of half height configured in the front face of an information device. The case (1) portion of the disc device A has an external shape having a thickness 19 mm to 20.65 mm and a width 145.5 mm to 146.5 mm. Furthermore, threaded hole (1d) is formed in the side surface of the case (1) for mounting onto the information device main body. Moreover, when a pair of disc devices (A1, A2) configured so as to be vertically combined is made into a unitary block by opposing the cases 1, the external shape is such that matched with the opening of the drive bay.
