BYTECC 2.5 Inch HDD/SSD 3.5" Mounting Kit - $3.99 + FS @ Newegg

just plug the ssd in and tape it down, find a spot for one screw to hold it on place, or live near me so I can hand you one of the 40 I have For a moment I thought it was a 3.5" portable enclosure box.

Don't know why but I was thinking of an enclosure too, lol.

Coupon code not working?

Thanks, bought one! Mine was just flopping out of my computer case like a dog with its head out the window.

It's possible the coupons are limited to people signed up to email, although the verbiage in the email I got said nothing about being exclusive.

The coupon worked for me just fine.

this looks better but isn't needed. A SSD held by 2 screws on one side is fine. Also, cheaper 2.5 to 3.5 rails are $2.99 at Fry's everyday.

You do have to be a subscriber to Newegg's newsletter to be able to use the coupon codes.

I'd use zip ties personally No goop from the tape

Frys has also has a Bytecc kit for same price. I had to pick it up locally as I had to finish building my build today :-)

It works. I prefer a metal one, JMO.

If you have the 3.5" slot, I would use one. Can't see paying $1/GB for an SSD and scrimping on a ~$5 converter bracket to secure it.

There are definitely plenty of DIY options, but sometimes it's just better to pay a few bucks for a nice clean solution, especially if you have a windowed case.

Besides, other then just having the SSD just hanging there it's easier to remove a couple screws of if you need to remove the drive from the computer.
I used a few of the Rosewill adapters (that had the fan mounted to them) and they worked nicely with the Antec Sonata III slide in 3.5" trays. These look similar to the Rosewill bracket minus the fan.

Just noticed a Newegg reviewer posted that these are plastic adapters, the Rosewill model is steel.
