A rail assembly (10) includes a rail (12) and an electrically conductive fastener (14) secured to the rail. The rail which is U-shaped in cross-section includes a base (16) and a pair of flanges (18) extending from opposite longitudinal edges of the base, to define a receiving space therebetween for receiving the fastener. A hollow cylinder (24) extends from the base into the receiving space. A pair of posts (25) extends from the base in a direction opposite to the cylinder, for engaging with two holes (82) defined in a side wall of a data storage device (80). Each, flange defines a plurality of slots (29). The fastener includes a body (34), a handle portion (32), and a resilient portion (28) between the handle portion and the body. The body defines a through hole (42) for receiving the cylinder of the rail. A plurality of resilient fingers (46) is formed at the body for extending into the slots of the rail and electrically contacting a computer enclosure (90). The data storage device with two rail assemblies attached thereto is inserted into the computer enclosure, being guided and held by grooves defined in the enclosure.
