A self-aligning bracket assembly can be used for many purposes, including for attaching a shock mount to a data storage device. The bracket assembly can include a plate having a first side and a second side opposite the first side. A surface of the plate on the first side can be adjacent a data storage device for mounting thereon. The plate may further include a raised and/or sunken portion forming an open space or gap between the surface and the portion and thereby forming an open space between the plate and the data storage device. An opening can extend through the plate at the raised or sunken portion. The opening can have a chamfer formed in the plate to receive a screw for mounting the bracket assembly. When used for a shock mount, the bracket may further include a shock mount extending from the plate.
