Tool-less SSD question

Jay794 · 2 Mar 2012 at 22:53

How do people install their SSD's in their PC's? I've heard about Velcro and tape but I have a HAF 922 with tool hard drive bays so it would be nice to be able put it in the drive bay, so.....solutions and ideas?

Does your HAF922 have those plastic slide out HDD trays?

I use these kind of things if the case doesn't have a dedicated 2.5 inch mount point: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-002-OP&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=72

In my main rig the drive bays have mounting holes for SSD's.

In my HTPC double sided tape was the solution

Yeah the HAF has the slide out drive bays

I was able to get one of these Akasa mounts to fit,

I used a screw either side in the middle, but to get the little rubber grommet/push pin to fit into the front screw hole i had to just use a drill bit big enough to remove the thread within.

Sticky pads and Velcro was the solution

just zip tied mine with all the cables in the back

My ssd is a 3.5" ocz vertex, so luckily no need for adapters or tape etc. But as mentioned, velcro, tape, cable ties are all methods that work well.

I have two 2.5" drives. One in an (OCZ) adaptor and the other velcroed on in one of my 3.5" bays.
