SSD drive bays space

Schoieuk · 14 Mar 2010 at 21:37

i am planning on buying the antec 1200 case and also a build that includes the OCZ vertex limited edition SSD 2.5" am i correct in thinking it wont fit in the 3.5" drive bays? this might sound like a complete noob question to some people but ive never had a realy decent case or SSD before

Any thoughts would be helpful

Thanks.

A 2.5" to 3.5" adapter mount is a cheap extra. Cost you about a fiver. Vibration and heat not an issue with SSD and I've even seen people stick them to the case with velcro tabs.

so it wont fit then? i do need a special drive bay extra? it wont support it as standard?

Also if that is the case any suggestions, kinda dont know what i am looking for

this sort of thing i guess would work actually after a quick browse on overclockers:

i just screwed mine into the side of a 5.25", it does look a bit odd floating with only one side connected, but the thing is so light it really won't make a difference.

Mine just sits in the top compartment - at an angle - it's so light you can just hang it somewhere!
