This is the technique iv used for about 5 years, (Minus the new addition of the elastic banded SSD drive 
need some more elastic)
Elastic used is just some elastic you can buy cheap for boxer shorts etc, really tough elastic though it is, just got it as tight as possible, loop it around tie it at one side with a tripple knot, and slide the hdd in. simples

I've used this method before for HDD's
But surely...no moving parts in SSD = no vibration?

Correct but i don't have anything to mount my ssd in
was gonna just blu-tac it to a hdd, but then i thought, well no point in my ssd getting shaken up all its life, plus the heat from the hdds might wreck the ssd.
so i just elastic banded it up lol
Mines just dangling down the back of my mobo lol

Loving the thinking. And good point re: the SSD lack of vibration. Some cable ties would work just as well.
. It works great

It doesn't look very nice, but I guess if it works it works, I'd be scared of the bay dropping out though.
All you need for a good SSD mount is a few strips of Velcro!Correct but i don't have anything to mount my ssd in

Yeah that's how I do it, I've got a 3.5" HD mount kit, mount the SSDs to that and then velcro the mount kit to the back of the motherboard tray.

Just bunjee modded two drives in my 750D, something a bit different!
The whole motherboard tray including them two drives are going to be covered though soon when I get round to doing it

thats really cool, where did you get the bungee from? and whats up with that gpu?
Soldato
It's boxer shorts elastic that you can get from sewing shops, or well they sell it in my local corner shop lol. its pretty tough elastic aswell its hard to stretch it and tie it in a knot I tell ya. but it works well.
And the second gpu is using a riser and tilted on to let more air into my top gpu because the pci-e slot is so close, the top gpu was starved of air
check out my project log its got the details on there

This looks pretty cool. shame my case doesn't have bays that allow me to give this a crack
Anyone got an idea of any way to ghetto mount a standard HDD in an air 540's ODD bay that doesn't involve using 5.25>3.5 adapter?
Bungee method doesnt seem to be viable from what i can tell,and ineed as much of the ODD bay space available as possible
