SSD caddy for slimline dvd bay?

gizmo1990 · 21 Feb 2010 at 18:40

I've got a small mini itx chassis and I need to mount a ssd drive in its slimline dvd (basically a slimline 5 1/4) bay. Does anyone know if a adaptor for this purpose exists? I've checked oc but couldn't find anything like this?

Any advice appreciated.

Ok so something like this http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18104378&highlight=ssd+caddy but for slimline setup .... anyway you can get the fixing screws pitch for the 5 1/4 holes on the slim dvd drive section ?

Any luck ? If you can get the pitch (distance between) of the fixing screws I might be able to make you a larger version of the clear plastic caddy in the link above.

Does the case have a full size PCI slot? if so, Google "2.5in SATA Removable Hard Drive Bay for PC Expansion Slot" It might be of use.

It's an SSD. If you wanted to you could just selotape it to the side of the case with no ill effects.
