Starise Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 FYI- Not sure but this might need an adapter to use for a desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmcleod Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 They normally come with a bracket to make them slightly bigger. In saying that, mine are just resting within the drive bay. It's not as if I move the PC much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roseberry Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 If you're trying to mount a 2.5" drive (typical SATA SSD) in a 3.5" or 5.5" bay, you'll need an adapter. Most more recent cases have 3.5" drive trays that allow mounting 2.5" drives (via four screws). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Roseberry Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Many current generation cases also have a pair of 2.5" drive trays on the right side (as you're facing the front of the case). You'll need to remove the right side-panel to access them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I do...so, unless you are OCD about them being mounted, there really is no need. Edited May 13, 2019 by cclarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Roseberry Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 If the drive bays don't have provisions for mounting 2.5" drives: Inexpensive adapters that'll fit two 2.5" drives in a 3.5" bay 5.25" Removable bay that houses four 2.5" drives There's also velcro and tape ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those cable twist ties could work too. I'm thinking when those drive adapters go on sale for $2 just buy a lot of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Back up to 119.00 now. I have had such good luck with Samsung I ended up with an Ultra SATAIII 860. Not as big. Not a steal deal. Not a bad deal either. Thanks for posting this. I should have jumped sooner on it. Samsung is peace of mind for me. Maybe a false sense of peace.
