SDD Install in a CoolerMaster Case

shaneosborne · 12 Jun 2013 at 16:42

I hope I'm posting on the correct forum;

I have a 'Cooler Master CM-690 II Lite Dominator Case' and just purchased

2x SSDs (Crucial RealSSD M4 256GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive (CT256M4SSD2).

I also purchased 'Akasa Dual 2.5" SSD/HDD Mounting Kit' which was of no use as I forgot my case has tool free drive bays for HDDs and I cant get this to fit.

Can someone point me to the correct mounting kit for these SSDs which are compatible with my case?

Many thanks in advance....

Anyone?

Slide out the tray, place the drive. Screw in with the supplied case screws.

There are no fixings in the case once you pull the tray out...

In that case, Velcro is your friend.

Are the mounting holes in the correct place, but to small?

If so, you could drill out the holes and make them bigger.

Or as pryere said, use Velcro.

If you Google "SSD Bracket - Cooler Master". That is the proper bracket, but is a bit pricey for a bit of plastic.

Velcro to the back of your motherboard tray. They don't need to be cooled.

I was wondering who would be the first to post SDD instead of SSD on the forum, as Im always doing it myself and keep on having to change it.

Ha! I didn't even notice. I now feel a bit grubby...

Whats a SDD?

Pull the tray out and there is usually holes on the bottom of the drive cage that match up to the SSD holes on the bottom

SDD - Subsystem Device Driver

I think he may be getting confused with STD :/

No holes on the bottom of the SSD nor the bracket I get purchased and no holes in the tray or the tray bay... Will have to be Velcro or the Coolermaster bracket which I'm yet to l@@k at....

I e gone for the this on the following link (gambled), hopefully this will be fine as it seems so by looking at it and viewing the description... Shame Overclockers couldn't help, I thought the case should have supplied one but that is with the advanced model
