Bryan, I was thinking of just double sided Velcro as well on my new SSD. But, I found a decent mounting rail for it and all is good. The SSD is running where my old 10k rpm SATA 3 HD was. Right now it is running at 88 Degrees F.
The speed tests I have are awesome, it nearly saturates the SATA 3 bus (5.7Gb's). On boot up I was expecting a huge speed increase, but did not see much of one. But the programs zip along at warp 9 :) Tim Lider Sent from: Intel i7-2600K Running at 4.35GHz with 16GB of PC3 RAM running at 1,620MHz > -----Original Message----- > From: Hardware [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Bryan Seitz > Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2014 5:55 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [H] Samsung 840PRO SSD? > > Duncan.... secure it to the chassis any way you can there are no moving > parts.
