A hard disk drive tray assembly includes an adapter (20), a tray (10), and a bezel (30). The adapter and tray are designed with slots (28a, 28b) and protrusions (18a, 18b) such that the adapter can be secured to the tray without the use of tools, screws, or nuts. The bezel pivots horizontally about the tray and includes at least one incorporated insertor/extractor lever thereby allowing the user to insert and extract the hard disk drive tray assembly using just one hand. The bezel has a built-in handle (44) which allows a user to securely grasp onto the hard disk drive tray assembly during transportation from one location to another. Furthermore, the bezel includes a transluscent or transparent LED display window (38) for providing an external means of visually monitoring the LED status indication light which is integral to the hard disk drive.
