Abstract

A storage device includes a first loading tray to comprise a loading surface on which to abut a non-recording surface of said portable recording medium, a second loading tray to comprise a loading surface, parallel with the loading surface of said first loading tray, on which to abut a recording surface of said portable recording medium loaded in the way of being turned in the same direction as that of the recording surface of said portable recording medium loaded into said first loading tray, and an access unit disposed on the side of the recording surface to access the recording surface of said portable recording medium even in such a case that said portable recording medium is loaded into any one of said first loading tray and said second loading tray.

1 . A storage device to execute at least any one of writing and reading data to and from a portable recording medium, comprising:
 a loading tray to comprise a loading surface for loading said portable recording medium;   a loading tray support unit, to which said loading tray is connected, to support said loading tray; and   a connecting unit to connect said loading tray support unit to said loading tray in an attachable/detachable manner and enabling said loading tray support unit to connect with said loading tray even in a state where the loading surface of said loading tray is inverted.   
     
     
         2 . The storage device according to  claim 1 , wherein said portable recording medium is an optical disc. 
     
     
         3 . Electronic equipment comprising:
 a storage device to execute at least any one of writing and reading data to and from a portable recording medium, the storage device including:
 a loading tray to comprise a loading surface for loading said portable recording medium, 
 a loading tray support unit, to which said loading tray is connected, to support said loading tray, and 
 a connecting unit to connect said loading tray support unit to said loading tray in an attachable/detachable manner and enabling said loading tray support unit to connect with said loading tray even in a state where the loading surface of said loading tray is inverted; and 
   a processing circuit to issue, to said storage device, a command to execute at least any one of writing and reading data to and from said portable recording medium.
