SSD - how to mount?

Hockster · Apr 12, 2010

Tax refund is coming, and with that a couple Intel 160GB SSD's. But, do they come with an adapter so the drives can use a standard 3.5 bay?

TBH i just use'd masking tape to stick it into a bay

.. but you can buy a separate 2.5 to 3.5 adaptor for about $15-25.

i doubt they come with an adaptor but i havnt bought an intell ssd before.

if they dont come with it, they're cheap to buy.

I managed to track down this:

Looks rather interesting. I might give it a shot.

thats a hot swap rack, not something i'd normally put an OS drive in since it can disconnect if someone pushes the wrong button.

I'm way too fussy to do that.

The 2 in 1 caught my eye, and I live alone. No one to blame but myself. My Cosmos case has a front door as well. Extra security.

edit: That OCZ solution looks good too.
