2.5 to 3.5?

I'm going to invest in an ssd, and I was wondering what crafty method there was for mounting it into my PC case- there doesn't seem to be anywhere for it to go... I realise that i'm probably being a retard, but what are the mounting options? My case is a Hiper Anubis

Assuming that SSDs use the same mounting arrangement as laptop hard drives then you can get 2.5" to 3.5" adapters, 2.5" caddies which will fit into 3.5" drive bays (I think) or suspend them on rubber cord.

ta- any sold by OcUK?

Not that I can see but you could always ask if they would stock something like this Icy Box option as it seems to fit what you need assuming it is a premade SSD hard drive, if you need a card caddy then there are different models that Icy Box do.

The Icy Box is a bit overkill, you can buy mounting rails for a few quid.
With the rise in popularity of 2.5" SSDs I'm sure OcUK will stock them soon.

I recommend bungee mounting it. Cuts down on the vibration . . .

I did suggest it in the product suggestion forum for that exact reason, it was read by a couple of people, but seems they never responded.

It is slightly overkill but it is just an option, I can't really link to the mounting rails without linking to a competitor y'see.

The product suggestion forum means whatever you suggest is only viewable by yourself, Spie and I think Gibbo also, no one else can see what you've suggested.

I just stuck my SSD to the bottom of my case using stickyback velcro

I know

Other times I have had a response.
