Abstract
A data storage device has an external casing comprising an opening which allows access to the components within the casing by a data storage cartridge. A door covers the opening when a data storage cartridge is not installed in the device. The construction and placement of the door allow the door to function as a structural element, thus enhancing the ability of the data storage device to withstand externally-applied loads without deformation or damage. Additionally, the door functions as a guide-piece for the data storage cartridge as it is inserted into the storage device. Furthermore, the door accomplishes these functions without requiring any increase in the height or width of the device.
