[H] SSD trouble?
OK, so none of my SSD's fit into my PC cases (yet?). I suspect it is the 2.5in size vs. the 3.5in place I tried to use (FDD carrier). Nogo. Can anyone share links to a 2.5in-3.5in carrier adapters I can buy. I need 5. Still looking for my old baggie of 6-32 screws. Looking like a trip to Ace HDW.. :) SSD is Samsung 840pro 128GB. Quite surprised that none of them came w/mounting screws, but, I expect Samsung figured all of their SSD's will go into laptops/tablets, etc. Sheesh. LOL! Not in the Collective! Thanks, Duncan

Have you tried duct tape. No screws needed; no carriers needed; no converters needed. Regards, Mike At 03:33 PM 5/7/2014, DSinc wrote: OK, so none of my SSD's fit into my PC cases (yet?).

Re: [H] SSD trouble?
Mike, No. I had not thought of that, yet. That may be the way I go. I did try the 4 6-32 screws the fixed the old 160GB EMD in place. Guess what? none of them will fit the Samsung threads! More study for sure. Thanks, Duncan On 05/07/2014 15:44, Michael Resnick wrote: Have you tried duct tape. No screws needed; no carriers needed; no converters needed.

OMG! Double-sided velcro? Never seen it. Sorry. Must still be mechanically fixated. TNX, Duncan On 05/07/2014 16:14, Bryan Seitz wrote: I use double sided velcro, SUP!

Re: [H] SSD trouble?
I've used it to mount 27-receptacle vertical (0U) monitored PDUs. Very strong. I used about 3 10 strips per PDU, and it was really overkill. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@lists.hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Bryan Seitz Sent: Wednesday, May 7, 2014 4:27 PM To: hardw...@lists.hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] SSD trouble?

Re: [H] SSD trouble?
Brian, Thanks. I will look/see about this. I like velcro! And, I can not believe an SSD will be any kind of 'heat' generator. The damn package is all 'plastic!'
