Then again SSD drives are so lightweight that even velcro works fine, good if you want to hide them or want more airflow in your system.

The drive requires 10% more free space than the 830, has a 1/3 life expectancy. If thats worth a $14 savings do buy the drive. (Not to mention the poor write performance under strain)
