SSD velcro onto Hard driver Safe?

shankly1985 · 5 May 2016 at 14:02

Hello Want to move my PC hardware back into my Corsair 540 case, the case has two drive mounts at the bottom for Hard drives or SSDs.

If I was to install two hard drives and the velcro the SSDs on top would this be good? I think I know the answer is yes but I would just like second thoughts.

Thanks

Fine to do that, I'd personally use double sided tape but same difference

Double sided tape will be best. I have two SSD's together in one cage - one laid on top of the other and not fixed - with airflow across them. Never been a problem.

My SSD's are in with cable ties

Thanks a lot guys put mind to rest. The double sided tape will be used.

I'd get velcro coins so its easy to peel away if needed.

It will be strong enough, only two hold my numberplate on at high speed.

or use double sided sticky pads, ive used these to hold a 4 plug extension to a skirting board and it's solid, hasn't dried out but I'm sure I could pull off if I needed to

Double side foam tape works a charm. Sometimes sold in Halfords under number plate tape.

I've used velcro on ssd's on a fair few builds.

I'd stick it to the case, not a hdd...long term exposure to hdd vibration might cause issues.
