Drive bay

A hollow, rectangular area in a computer chassis designed to hold a disc drive. The side walls of a drive bay generally contain holes to facilitate installation of a disc drive. Some drive bays, such as those for hard disks, are not visible to the user. Most drives are located on the front of the chassis so that the user can interact with the drive.
